Question

Write a few sentences comparing and contrasting the practices of the Aztecs themselves, including human sacrifice, with the way in which they were conquered by Spain.

Answer 1

The Aztecs were a polytheistic indigenous group in present day Mexico. They practiced human sacrifices to their gods. They praised the god of the sun and war the most. Spain conquered the Aztecs with their more modern weapons like the gun. They also caused a outbreak of disease like small pox, that ultimately lead to the Aztec’s demise.
