Aztecs

The Aztec land had a varied terrain that included mountains, valleys, and lakes. The capital city of Tenochtitlan was situated on an island in Lake Texcoco, surrounded by marshes and small islands. The Aztecs built causeways and floating gardens to navigate and cultivate the land.

They had three tests for all the young men wishing to become the next Emperor:

1. Fight with a sword

The contestant would have to fight three challengers using flint-tipped wooden swords. The first to draw blood would be the winner.

2. Reading a star chart

The contestant would have to interpret a picture of the heavens drawn by the Chief Priest. The test would include predicting the harvest and recognising all of the important stars.

3. Fighting a mock battle

The contestant was put in charge of a force of five hundred soldiers. He had to use the soldiers to track, surround and capture three hundred soldiers that were been sent into the countryside for this purpose. This was the most important test as it tested the contestant's leadership skills, his battle tactics and his ability to keep a cool head and handle pressure.

Aztecs would choose their new leader when the old one seemed close to death. I think a council of four (who advised the Emperor) and other nobles, helped to choose the new leader. Women could never be leaders.

They also put whoever is directly next in the bloodline like with Moctezuma I and II

The Native American empire conquered by Francisco Pizarro was the Inca Empire. In the early 16th century, Pizarro led a Spanish expedition that ultimately captured the Inca ruler Atahualpa and exploited internal divisions within the empire. This conquest was facilitated by superior weaponry, strategic alliances with rival tribes, and the impact of diseases brought by Europeans. The fall of the Inca Empire marked a significant moment in the Spanish colonization of South America.

The Aztecs believed that to show their devotion, love and belief to their gods they had to sacrifice human life.

They believed that there was no new life without death.

The Spanish had guns and the Aztecs did not.

The cause of the disappearance of the Aztecs were the Spaniards when they killed Montezuma the Aztec's emperor

Cortes found allies against the Aztecs among the many conquered and oppressed Central American tribes. They were happy to help, as the Aztecs had a habit of taking war prisoners and sacrificing them to the gods, as well as forcing conquered enemies to pay ridiculously high tributes, which were sort of like taxes.
