Ultimately, effectiveness varied by context, terrain, and specific battlefield requirements.


Why did the Aztec weapons terrify the Spaniard's?

The Aztec weapons terrified the Spaniards primarily due to their unfamiliarity with the technology and tactics employed by the Aztecs. The Aztecs used a range of weaponry, including macuahuitl (a wooden sword with obsidian blades) and atlatls (spear-throwers), which were effective in close combat. Additionally, the psychological impact of facing a formidable and organized military force, combined with their advanced strategies and the sheer number of warriors, contributed to the Spaniards' fear. This fear was exacerbated by the mythic status of the Aztecs within European narratives, portraying them as fierce and formidable opponents.
