  • Their success was the result of several factors: military technology, warfare goals and tactics, epidemic diseases, and the loose structure of the Aztec empire" (Berdan). The spanish brought with them great weapons. They also attacked at a time of political unrest in the Aztec Empire. But their greatest weapon, the one that brought them the great victory, was the diseases they brought to the new world. "The Spanish conquest did not destroy Aztec culture, nor did it wipe out the Aztec people. Rather, the Aztec territory became a colony of the Spanish empire, called "New Spain."

  • European Diseases - The Spaniards carried diseases that killed the Aztecs. As the Aztecs and the Spaniards fought in Tenochtitlan, the small pox epidemic began to kill the people. The Aztecs had no immunities to any of the European diseases. In 1518 there were about 25 million Mexicans. Fifty years later, less than 3 million Native Americans survived.

      Wow that is interesting, I can't believe that small pox killed the Aztec's and so many of them. That also reminds me of Spanish wars the Americans have been in and many got killed from small pox. Looks like Spanish could have trouble in years of big small pox breakdowns.

  • the Aztec system recognised three main causes of illness and injuries—supernatural causes involving the displeasure of the gods or excess and imbalance with the supernatural and natural worlds, magical causes involving malevolent curses and sorcerers (a tlacatecolotl in Nahuatl),
  • and natural or practical causes. Establishing a treatment for any given ailment depended first upon determining the nature of its cause.
