  • 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."

  • The causes for the Maya's decline are numerous, but one of the central causes is that the demands they placed upon their environment grew beyond the capacity of the land. At it's peak, there were about 15 million people occupying the Mayan world. Over-population of Mayan metropolises are suspected to have gone beyond levels that the Mayan political and social networks were able to support, resulting in social unrest and revolution. Frequent skirmishes by warring clans, such as the Toltec invasion of Chichen Itza, are suspected to have forced the Mayan populace to flee their cities. Recent studies have discovered evidenc
  • of severe droughts, deforestation, and a decline in large game animals that began around 800 A.D., coinciding with a sharp drop in new construction. Human bones found from this time show signs of severe malnutrition, which would have been a driving factor behind raids. While Maya civilization did go through a brief renaissance after this period, ongoing environmental constraints played a large role in their eventual decline.

4 Possible Reasons For The Collapse of the Mayan Civilization - 0 views

  • Most recently, scientists have turned their work towards the possibility of disease. The climate was humid and would have supported a host of parasitic activity. As the Mayan civilization grew and spread, disturbances would have occurred which could have placed the people in contact with parasites that would promote disease and death. If this were the case no member of the Mayans would have been spared. As with many diseases that attacked the human body, death can be a slow process dependent upon the strength and health of the individual attacked.

  • the development of chronic warfare caused a breakdown in their fragile agriculture system. Imagine you were a farmer at the city-state of Uaxactun and you are at war with Tikal. Now, are you going to stay on your farm with no military protection? Of course not, you will move as fast as you can into the protection of the city walls. In the meantime your field becomes overgrown and no food can be produced. So we see cases of extreme food shortages that cannot be compensated for causing the demise of the Mayan culture.
