Who were the Aztecs?
The Aztecs are people who lived all the way in Mexico.The Aztecs are ruled by their emperor, Moctezuma.Moctezuma ruled the richest land in America.Moctezuma believed that if he and the Aztecs didn't offer their gods human hearts and blood,the world would end.The only people who were allowed to wear green and turquoise was the emperor and nobody else.All their glory ended when the Spaniards came and concucted war.The Aztecs fought until they were killed.
Moctezuma tried to calm the Spaniards who were surrounding him down but instead,he just angered them.Eventually,the Spaniards defeated Moctezuma.The Aztecs thought that their emperor had betrayed them so they threw rocks and stones at him.The Spaniards believed that the Aztecs' emperor had died because of all the wounds he got from the rocks.But Aztec accounts said that the Spaniards had strangled Moctezuma and thrown him off the palace roof. After the Aztecs' loyal emperor died,his son-in-law,Cuauhtemoc had taken over his father-in-law's place as emperor.Cuauhtemoc was determined to resist every move of the Spaniards even if the Spaniards killed all his fellow Aztecs that were fighting against them.
