Module 13 Lesson 6
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What was the Aztec empire's main reason of growth? | It went on military conquests and collected great wealth from those conquered areas. |
| What was the social class structure of the Aztecs? | The emperors were at the top with the most power. The military leaders, government officials, and priests made up the noble class of secondary power. The merchants, craft workers, soldiers, and farmers were in the middle class. Last were captured slaves. |
| What was the city of Tenochtitlan and how did it keep in contact with surrounding areas? | It is the capital city of the Aztecs that is located on Lake Texcoco. They used causeways that were very long to reach cities farther away on the mainland. |
| Why were the Aztecs considered more brutal than the Mayan? | They sacrificed people to the sun god on a daily basis to make sure that the sun would rise everyday, and after they sacrificed all of the captured people, they even began to use their own civilians. |
| What was the reason for the Aztec decline? | The Spanish were able to overthrow the Aztecs when they were already weakened by rebelling civilians angered by the human sacrifices. They had horses along with more powerful weapons, making it even easier to defeat them. |
