Aztec Empire: A Brief History from Beginning to the End

By History Encounters

History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from Aztec Empire to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.

 

The Aztec Empire began its humble beginnings in the Valley of Mexico and went through at least four rulers before they could call their civilization an empire. Their practices were centered on their religion, which involved daily human sacrifices to help appease their gods. However, their social order is quite different from the European way that we are all most familiar with. Leadership and slavery are not hereditary for them. Slaves had rights and benefits while being nobility and a merchant were hereditary social classes. The demise of the Aztec Empire was tragic, as they welcomed the Spaniards with open arms, but the latter replied with hostility.

 

Learning about history will keep you perceptive and make sure to not repeat mistakes that others made in the past. The different stories in this series will show the readers that history should not just be seen from one perspective, but from the different eyes of the groups of people involved.

Part of the land’s history is largely composed of Mesoamerica, an interesting historical region encompassing the Mayans, Aztecs, and Incan Empires. But for this study, you will be focusing on the
