About the Garland War

In A.D. 1 100, the regime control in the densely populated and developed agricultural central valley of Mexico was in a state of extreme chaos, and the arrogant Aztecs gradually formed as the power center. This is a northern tribe. Immigrants came to the valley and occupied a small town near the Great Central Lake. This is a society that emphasizes the value of soldiers' skills, which brings great benefits to other tribes when they are opposed. By the end of15th century, the Aztecs had taken control of the whole center of Mexico, regarded it as a military empire, and obtained tribute from competitors.

Aztec culture mostly used the experience of predecessors, but also created some minimal new cultures. They have extremely advanced agricultural technology and can feed a large number of people. They built a large number of buildings with grand design and great artistic value. They are skilled metal workers, but they have no iron. Due to the lack of animals pulling carts, they are of no practical value to the movement of wheels.

A notable feature of Aztec culture is its tendency to sacrifice. The Aztec god ordered that human blood should be used to supply the sun and provide it with rising energy every day. Every time someone sacrifices, there will be a very grand scale, and there will be thousands of people on that day, which is unusual. Sacrifice is usually beheaded or skinned, and the heart is dug out alive. Then put the sacrifice on the top of the high pyramid, closest to the sun, and the blood flowed down the steps. Although the Aztec economy mainly depends on corn (or corn), people still believe that the harvest of crops depends on the blood supply of regular human sacrifices.

The constant demand for victims means that the Aztecs are gradually losing control of the affiliated cities, because frequent rebellions provide many opportunities for finding new victims. In peacetime, the "Garland War" was strictly planned, and it was designated as a contest of courage and war skills, with the aim of capturing victims. They beat them with sticks, maimed them or knocked them unconscious, but they just didn't kill them. The stick that can kill people is inlaid with obsidian blades.

Although the Aztecs have great agriculture and art, looking back on their previous history, they are a pale and gloomy society with little vitality. They have no important technology, religious ideas or political principles that can be passed down from generation to generation. /kloc-At the beginning of the 6th century, Spain invaded and the Aztecs' own civilization was quickly interrupted. As early as some European businessmen entered the nation, Aztec culture was destroyed by European civilization, and they began to form a small Spanish army, equipped with steel weapons, firearms and a small number of war horses. The Spanish recruited allies among the non-Aztecs in Mexico and easily defeated the Aztecs, which was undoubtedly a cruel and fatal blow to this nation.
