Society consisted of nobles and commoners who farmed or worked as artisans. The Aztecs excelled at engineering, arts, jewelry, and oratory despite having no strong written language.

2. The land of the Aztecs
• The Aztec was located predominately in the Valley of Mexico. The Valley
of Mexico was an area of a broad high plateau that stretched across the
central highlands. The temperature of the area was cool due to its high
elevation. Volcanoes rose above the plateau, thus the basin located below
the volcanoes had fertile soils. This was excellent for farming and
population growth.
• The Aztec were brilliant at architecture. They managed to built causeways
that connected the island city to the lake shore. They were also able to
build chinampas, which were manmade islands that they farmed to
increase their crop production. This also allowed for a growth in
population. Finally, they were able to secure fresh water by building a dike
that held back brackish water from the city.
• The Aztec wanted to have a larger empire and they were able to acquire a
larger empire through warfare. By the 1500s the Aztecs controlled a
significant part of Mesoamerica. They had a full- blown empire, which
included pyramids and glittering palaces.

otherwise known as an absolute monarchy.
• The Aztec king had an alliance with the kings of Tlacopan and
Texcoco, but the Aztec king had the most power of the three.
• The kings of the Triple Alliance, as they were called, collected
tribute from the kingdoms that they took over. According to the
text, tribute flowed through the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan in
abundance.
• When the Aztec king died, the Supreme Council chose a member of
the ruling family as the new king.

Council, War Council, and Council of Four, but ultimately it was the
king who made all decisions regarding the Aztec people and
civilization.

Gods Huitzilopochtli and Tlaloc controlled everything and their
everyday lives.

Gods. They believed that without human blood, the Gods would
become weak.

consisted of the nobles and the second of the commoners.
