Who were the Aztecs?
The Aztecs were a small nomadic tribe that started from nothing but through religion and determination became one of the greatest empires of all time! After settling in the future capital of Tenochtitlan, the Aztecs conquered much of what is now known as Mexico valley and created an empire that would conquer, kill, and/or unite many of the other tribes until their downfall at the hands of Spanish disease, gunpowder, and metals.
