Aztecs

[Sarah]

The Aztec people dominated central and southern Mexico from the 14th to the 16th century and are best known for having established an elaborate and wide-ranging empire destroyed by Spanish invaders led by Hernán Cortéz. The leader of the Aztecs during the Spanish conquest was the Great Montezuma II. Their name is derived from a mythical homeland to the north called Azatlán, but they also called themselves the Mexica. The Aztec language belongs to the Nahuatlan branch of the Uto-Aztecan family. Human and animal sacrifices were an integral part of Aztec religion. For warriors, the ultimate honor was to be slain in battle or to volunteer for sacrifice in a major ritual. The Aztecs are credited with the discovery of delicious chocolate, made from the fruit of the cacao tree.

Powerful [Indian people] and empires that were wiped out by Spaniard-transmitted diseases. Were it not for this and the fact the Aztecs were not well-liked, [Cortez] and his 500 men would have easily had their asses handed to them by [the Aztec] empire of millions.

[Hina Muqadas]

Mesoamerican culture nearly impossible to [discern] from similar peoples such as Toltecs and Mayans, not to mention those [pesky] Mayans, as all societies possessed identical traits, ideologies, technological innovations, and motivations. [AP World History] students often receive the task of comparing and contrasting the four; to adequately do so would require a degree majoring in Mesoamerican history with a minor in Spanish, multiple years of life experience within the culture, and an IQ well over genius.
