    The Aztecs were creative. They invented unique things that made their lives easier. The fact that they created such wonders makes them creative and imaginative. In and around lake Texcoco, they Aztecs developed an ingenious system for irrigating agriculture called chinampas (Doc K). The area they lived in was swampy which made it hard to grow crops. So they made chinampas; which are essentially raised gardens. This reveals that the Aztecs had great ideas to make their lives easier; they were very creative in this sense. In fact, the Aztecs created one of the two most powerful empires in the western hemisphere (Doc A). The only possible way to make a very powerful empire is by obviously having multiple, effective inventions and tactics. This illustrates just how creative the Aztecs were. They were an advanced and extravagant civilization by being creative.…

    Defeating the Aztec Empire

    Hernan Cortes, a fierce Spanish conquistador, landed at San Juan de Ulua, in April 1519. With him, Cortes had 508 soldiers, one hundred sailors, artillery cannons, eleven ships and sixteen horses. Cortes and his small army, marched through Mexico, forming alliances with Aztec rivals, until reaching the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan. Tenochtitlan was the capital city of the massive Mexican empire known as the Aztecs or Mexica. It had a population of 200,000 people; almost three times that of the largest city of Spain, Seyville (Windschuttle, 43). Within the next two years, Cortes and his men had triumphantly defeated the Aztecs and taken control of Tenochtitlan against all odds. (Daniel, 1992) So how, despite be hopelessly outnumbered, without the possibility of new supplies or reinforcements, fighting other native tribes and Spaniards, and the Aztecs on their own turf, did this tiny Spanish force defeat such a formidable army. Today, there are a number of reasons why the Spanish have believed to been able to overcome such odds. A combination of poor Aztec military tactics against advance Spanish weaponry and strategy, a weak Aztec ruler, the spread of disease, Tenochtitlan’s poor governing over its populace, and the interconnectedness of Aztec military and religion ultimately led to the demise of its empire.…
