The Toltec Empire existed from the 10th to the 12th centuries. The Aztecs existed from 14th to the 16th centuries.
It is believed by historians that the Aztec Empire was built off of the remains of the Toltec Empire. Evidence of the empire was found in Aztec religion, images, and ritual.

From a conservative or state-based ideology: it is much easier to control population since they rarely receive "strange" ideas or influence from outside. Domestic policies become much more important. In so, it becomes easier to set popular aims targeting citizens.
