Following the collapse of the Toltec Civilization, the Aztecs rose to prominence in 14th-century Mexico.

The Aztecs constructed the most formidable state in the Americas, guided by a supreme emperor and a spiritual worldview that viewed human sacrifice as essential for cosmic stability.

By the 16th century, the Aztec Empire was finally overcome by a combination of Spanish ingenuity, advanced weaponry, and devastating disease.

Learn more about the rise and fall of the Aztec Empire on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
