Aztecs

Chocolate Drink

The Spanish had three advantages in conquering the Incas and Aztecs. One was the horse, which was strange and frightening to the natives. Another was their armor and weapons and a third was their treachery. However, in the case of the Inca, possibly the most important advantage the Spanish had was a legend or belief that a lighter skinned god would one day come from the sea. The Spanish were lighter skinned than the natives and they did come from the sea.

The Spanish outnumbered the aztecs

the Spanish gave small pox to the Aztecs.

Well, I know that Aztecs were trading to get what they needed and also that they grew crops in Chinampas; crops like: maize, pumkin, tomato and peppers.

Rich Aztec men were proposed to be Aztec priests and they were the ones that made sacrifices.

I'm sorry if this answer does not answer your question :P :D

Also, Aztecs never wrote, they just used diagrams and pictures to tell their story.

Hernand Cortez brutally murdered the Aztecs.

The Aztecs called their rulers Huey Tlatoani or Great Speaker since he was believed to be the incarnation of the sun and war gods on earth.

Some ancient people who occupied Mexico.

They were ruled by emperors.

The Aztecs sacrificed slave and volunteers to please their gods

This is part of a report I have to do. I used a few websites to write this. I hope you can use this and remember don't copy please.

There were many things the Aztecs accomplished. One thing the Aztecs accomplished was they invented chewing gum. Yes chewing gum! The Aztecs were the first to notice that the sap of the plant or the thick milky liquid of the sapodilla tree could be chewed and quickly hardened into a chewable gum. The liquid was referred to as "chicle," and commonly used by the commoner of the Aztecs society. Another thing the Aztec's invented was chocolate. Yes chocolate! The Aztecs are to be totally credited with discovering now to grind the beans to remove the sweet sap for drinking. Chocolate was highly expensive in the Aztec culture as it was considered as currency. The Aztecs also considered it an important tribute to the gods and it was commonly used during the sacrificial process. They are also credited with brewing the drink xocoatl which comprises a chocolate drink that was of cocoa beans, corn flour, water and chilies. The drink was so valuable, that it was reserved for the noble classes only. Lastly, the Aztec's invented popcorn. Yes popcorn! Although this was around way before the Aztecs, it's the Aztecs who bought it to the attention of the Spanish. The popped corn was eaten along with being an ornament of the headdresses of the nobility as well as the headdresses of the priests and Tlaloc, the god of maize and fertility. Those are three that have impacted us very much because I eat chocolate and popcorn a lot and sometimes I chew chewing gum. The Aztecs made a huge impact on society. Some Aztec accomplishments were the atlatl. The atlatl was an important development used extensively in Aztec warfare. These Aztec weapons, which were also known as the "spear thrower," were the primary weapons used by Aztec warriors during warfare. The atlatl helped the Aztec warriors gain leverage in order to achieve greater velocity when throwing spears. This made the spear far more deadly than when thrown with arm power alone. These Aztec weapons were made with a shaft and a hook. The butt of the spear rested within the shaft. When the spear was thrown using the atlatl, it was capable of going more than 100 meters. Aztec warriors continued to improve upon the atlatl through the years. These amazing Aztec weapons became so powerful, in fact, the Spanish conquistadors feared the Aztec atlatl more than any other weapon. This was with good cause, as the atlatl was capable of easily penetrating the Spanish metal armor. The weapon was so effective that it often passed completely through the conquistador's body. In addition to using a wide variety of specialized Aztec weapons, large Aztec war shields helped prevent the warriors from being harmed by the enemy. The Aztec's made a huge improvement in the military section too.

Aztecs originally offered fruit and flowers to the Sun god to thank him for supplying the light of life. When politics and the need for fear and strife entered the culture, it was decided that human hearts were required. Conquered warriors were a prime source. Like the WMD of the day. they pretty much sacrificed their own kind(other Aztecs) or anyone they could.

1. They were more advanced.

2. They were better armored.

3. Had better weapons.

4. They brought over diseases from Spain that the Aztecs and Incas did not have a cure for.

Not all of them. Only the Tlaxcalans.

Because they where way more advanced than the Aztecs and they had support from nearby tribes that hated the Aztecs.

They thought that the conquistadors were metal platted beasts and the ships were floating mountains.

They conquered smaller nearby tribes and made them pay tribute.

On an island in the center of lake Texcoco called Tenochtitlan.

The most precious gifts were building massive pyramids and giving the gods a daily human sacrifice.

The Aztecs had a lot of enemies and when the Spanish conquistadors arrived to Mexico the Aztec enemies were more than happy to help the Spanish destroy the Aztecs.

i cant answer it

They built boats to travel across lake Texcoco from Tenochtitlan to the main land. They also built causeways or bridges to cross the lake.

They all grew corn as their primary crop.
