Aztecs

To beat them and exact tribute. They also waged war so that their warriors would not get rusty. You may also hear of prearranged "flowery wars." However, there is a great misconception about what the "flowery wars" really were. The sources only speak of these wars to differentiate them from wars of conquest. Some have said that they were an institution that was set up to obtain sacrificial victims. This claim however is unsubstantiated in the sources at least to the extent to which it has been conceptualized. First of all, the "flowery wars" have been made to sound as if the Mexica and their opponents prearranged the wars. This is not substantiated and it isn't logical that two opposing armies that knew the outcome of such a struggle would participate willingly, and in fact the armies that participated in these wars seldom saw the battles as a game, but rather as a very serious struggle. Also, in the sources, when "flowery war" is described, often prisoners are returned and exchanged and the sacrificees are people other than the warriors. This does not mean that sacrifice was not important and that captives weren't sacrificed after a struggle. However, we must use logic and realize that if all the Mexica warriors were busy trying to capture sacrificial victims, they would have been a considerably ineffective army which they most decidedly were not (except against the Purepecha and the Tlaxcala).

Although the Aztecs had more people, Hernan Cortez had better weapons. Smallpox killed many natives and Cortez used other rival tribes to defeat the Aztecs

they would attack their food crops

It was the Spaniards under Hernando Cortes who conquered the Aztecs. The Aztecs surrendered to the Spanish in 1521. People who survived the invasion either went to slavery or were killed by European diseases like smallpox.

The Aztecs had beliefs but not storytelling.

Aztec mythology frequently features deities who are symbolic representations of one another. When it is suggested that Tezcatlipoca "became" Mixcoatl to invent fire, the real message is that Tezcatlipoca, as one of the most powerful gods in the pantheon, needed to borrow the auspices or powers of a different god in order to do so since fire was outside his normal milieu. It's not that Tezcatlipoca and Mixcoatl are the same person as much as it's that Aztec myths are fluid about allowing the one to stand in for the other as necessary.

And by the same token, Tezcatlipoca being Quetzalcoatl's brother may not be meant to be taken literally, either. The two gods were in many ways polar opposites representing very different concepts and ideas; viewing them as twins might be a result of the fact that the things they represented were sort of twinned, like calling darkness and light or life and death twins.

Keep in mind also that the Aztec empire was by no means operating under a unified religion that was the same in all areas. It was a collection of different city states and ethnic groups united under Mexica rulership, and therefore the myths are different from area to area. Mixcoatl, in particular, went through a lot of different forms and versions as he was originally a major patron god of some of the local ethnic groups that were conquered by the Aztecs and only later became less important.

Basically, Aztec mythology is not simply linear like Greco-Roman or Celtic myth, so what look like contradictions are often just different ways of looking at the same gods and ideas.

In Aztec and Chinese societies, a tribute was required from conquered land to trade with foreign places

Hernan Cortes

they believed that the Spanish were the emissaries of the god Quetzalcoatl, who was believed to have been turned into a bearded man. According to their mythology, the Aztecs believed that when Quetzalcoatl left on the Eastern Sea, he vowed to return and reclaim his throne in the year 2 Reed, which in our calender is 1519 AD.

In 1521, the Spanish Conquistadors conquered Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital. As soon as the Spaniards attacked with their Amerindian allies, most importantly the Tlaxcala who donated thousands of soldiers to effort, they were able to overrun the city.
