Lots of people were conquered and sacrificed. It was to scare them and take more power. But they did not know that they could have added them to their civilization to help with things and expand the Empire. More agriculture, food, and more helping hands. Then they could have defeated the Spanish!! They would of been around longer too. Think of what our history would be today!
This picture shows what the Aztecs ruled over. By conquering other places and NOT sacrificing them, look how much land the Aztecs could have ruled!
That's a lot. They also could have been more ready for the Spanish to attack because people from the defeated civilizations might have known about the Spanish attack.
