THE HISTORY OF THE AZTEC EMPIRE: DELVE INTO THE CIVILIZATION THAT THRIVED IN CENTRAL MEXICO BEFORE SPANISH CONQUEST

The Aztec Empire, centered in Tenochtitlán (modern-day Mexico City), was one of the most influential civilizations in Mesoamerica. Known for their advanced agriculture, architecture, and military prowess, the Aztecs built a vast empire through conquest and alliances. Their society was highly organized, with a complex religion that included human sacrifice. The arrival of Spanish conquistadors, led by Hernán Cortés in 1519, marked the beginning of the end for the Aztec Empire. Despite their resistance, the Aztecs were defeated by 1521 due to superior weaponry, disease, and alliances with rival tribes. The legacy of the Aztecs lives on in Mexican culture, art, and traditions, offering a glimpse into a rich and complex civilization.
