46 Warfare

47 Aztecs often asked a city-state to join the empire. The citystate had sixty days to agree. If the ruler refused, the Aztecs declared war. Most wars ended after one battle, usually with an Aztec victory. The Aztecs brought captured warriors to Tenochtitlan. Some became slaves, but most were sacrificed. Warfare

48 Tribute

49 Tribute The Aztecs forced hundreds of conquered citystates to pay tribute. Each year, the Aztecs collected over 7,000 tons of maize, 4,000 tons of beans, and at least 2 million cotton cloaks from its tributaries.

50 Human Sacrifice

51 Like the Mayans, the Aztecs tried to please the gods. Aztecs believed that the blood of strong warriors captured in battle would nourish the gods. The Aztecs also used the threat of human sacrifice to frighten city-states into paying tribute. Human Sacrifice

52 Tlachtli

53 The Aztecs played a game called tlachtli, which was very similar to the Mayan game of pok-a-tok. Tlachtli

54 Volador

55 Patolli

56 Patolli The Aztecs played a game called patolli on a crossshaped board divided into 52 squares. Five times around the board equals 260. Thus, the game symbolizes the 260-day calendar. How to play: Roll five white beans. For each bean that lands with a dot facing up, move forward one space. The first person around the board five times is the winner.

57 Delicious Food

58 Delicious Food The most important crop to the Aztecs was maize. After grinding maize into flour, women baked fresh tortillas. Women also made tamales by wrapping maize in husks and steaming it.

59 DO NOW: Aztecs vs. Spaniards In 1519, the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes landed on the Yucatan Peninsula with only 600 men. Despite being outnumbered, how did Cortes defeat the Aztec Empire? Make a prediction. Come up with three ideas. (video below)

60 Objective SWBAT explain the primary factors that led to the fall of the Aztec Empire.

61

62

63 Discuss What do you think are the top five factors (in order of most important to least important) that contributed to the Aztecs defeat?

64 Why were the Aztecs defeated? The Aztecs thought Hernan Cortes was the god Quetzalcoatl. Cortes made allies with the Aztecs native enemies who were tired of paying tribute. The Spanish had horses, armor, and superior weapons. The Spanish carried diseases such as smallpox that caused deadly epidemics among the Aztecs. Cortes had an Aztec translator named Malinche.

65 Was Hernan Cortes actually Quetzalcoatl?

66 Prophecy of Quexalcote #wonders-of-latin-america-engineering-anempire-aztecs

67 Broken spears lie in the roads We have torn our hair in grief. The houses are roofless now, and their walls Are reddened with blood. We have pounded our hands in despair Against the adobe walls, For our inheritance, our city, is lost and dead. The shields of our warriors were its defense, But they could not save it. -Aztec poem, 1528
