Answer:

The Aztec empire was a famous and powerful kingdom in present day Mexico that was conquered by the Spanish.

The Mayans were a civilization that were further south of the Aztecs and occupied areas in central america such as modern day Guatemala and Belize.

<h2>Practices unique to the Aztec</h2>
  • Had  Unified Empire - The Aztecs had a unified empire which was a confederation of three city states being the Mexico-Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tlacopan with the Tenochtitlan being the dominant force.

<h2>Practices Unique to the Mayans</h2>
  • Lived in City-States - Unlike their Aztec neighbours, the Mayans did not have a unified empire but instead lived in city states such as Copan and Tikal which had their own rulers.

<h2>Practices of both Cultures</h2>
  • Built pyramids  - Both the Mayans and the Aztecs built pyramids due to the influence that the ancient city of Teotihuacan had on them. Aztec pyramids usually had temples on top of them where the Aztecs would sacrifice humans in reverence to their gods.
  • Studied astronomy  - Both Mayans and Aztecs studied astronomy with Mayan priests doing so as a way to receive messages from the gods. The Aztecs also studied the heavens for the same reasons.
  • Had a polytheistic religion  - Both the Mayans and the Aztecs believed in multiple deities and gods such as Itzamna and Ix Chel for the Mayans and Huitzilopochtli and Tezcatlipoca for the Aztecs.
  • Built cities - Both Mayans and Aztecs built cities that were quite organized and even drew praise from their Spanish conquerors.

Before the Berlin conference how much of Africa was in the Pindingt under local control
Rainbow [258]

The Berlin Conference was the destruction of Africa in more than one sense: the colonial powers divided the countries of the African continent; When independence progressively returned to Africa in the second half of the 20th century, the continent had such a degree of political, social and cultural fragmentation that it has not yet been able to rise.

At the time of the conference, 80% of Africa remained under local control. What ultimately resulted was a hodgepodge of geometric boundaries that divided Africa into fifty irregular countries. This new map of the continent was superimposed on the thousand cultures and indigenous regions that existed. The new countries lacked cohesion, divided coherent groups of people and merged disparate groups that did not really get along.
