In document B it states , “ approximately twenty-thousand acres of chinampas were constructed around [Tenochtitlan] and the yield from them was high : four corn crops per year were possible .” This evidence connects to my reason because it shows how chinampas were not just a big achievement on Aztec history , but it also helped
The Aztecs were an ancient civilization found in Mesoamerica. Two aspects that they are known for are building temples and pyramids and also known for developing a form of writing called hieroglyphics. However, historians should emphasize on agriculture. We should emphasize on agriculture for three reasons. One reason is that agriculture effected the growth of the empire through the population and land growth.
The Aztecs created new technology to help lower the amount of physical labor in their empire. " [Aztecs] were also busy developing a remarkable agricultural system called chinampas. Because of their strong military and agricultural success, Aztec leaders were able to rule some ten million people"(Aztec Intro Article). The Aztec people changed their way of living through their jobs in the fields. They worked everyday to maintain crops that grew "as far as the eye can see".
The Aztecs were one of the most famous and successful early civilizations of the Americas that we know of, who ruled an empire in the modern day country of Mexico from 1350 to 1519. From their capital city of Tenochtitlan, now known as Mexico City, to their daily routines, the Aztecs had many achievements that they deserve recognition for. Two very important components in the history of the Aztecs are agriculture and human sacrifice. Although they both play huge roles in Aztec culture, historians should emphasize on their methods of farming. The reasons why historians should center their focus on the Aztecs' agricultural techniques are they affected the growth of their empire, were used on a huge scale, and were very unique in comparison to other
The Aztecs had lots of knowledge about crops, so they had many different uses for different crops. In the Crops document it says “Maize could be stored for long periods of time, and in addition to being eaten as it was, it could be ground into flour and made into other foods.”. It also says “The pumpkin, for example, was used often because its seeds provided a great deal of protein. And the bottle gourd was grown because after being eaten, it could be used as a water container.”, and “...cotton plants and rubber trees to create products they needed like clothing and latex balls.” There were many different uses for the crops that the Aztecs grew, and everything was very thought out.
The Aztecs built little platforms on top of the water to farm plants like corn or squash. The Aztecs also ate fish or other
The aztecs were masters of irrigation and in the capital city of Tenochtitlan they could grow four corn crops a year. The aztecs erected many temples and
When the economy goes up or down, it takes some getting used to, but could you imagine if your country was taken over and your conquerors put in a different economy? This was exactly what the Aztecs had to imagine, in fact, they had to adapt to it. When Spain took over, they swept away the Aztec economy and replaced it with their own, which was called the encomienda. The encomienda was a system where Spanish settlers would get a land grant and a certain amount of Aztec slave laborers to run the land. The Aztec economy before the encomienda was based on three main things, goods, trade and tribute.
Life was hard in the middle of a lake, literally, for the Aztecs. Because they lived in the middle of a lake, it was hard to have good farmland, so they improvised. The Aztec adapted to their environment in several ways. For example, They used Chinampas or floating gardens to create food for their people. Another example of how they adapted is they created canals to improve trade and transportation.
One compelling reason why historians should focus on agriculture is the large amount of land used. Surrounding Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital, are 20,000 acres of chinampas. Chinampas were used to expand the limited land on the island and produce a lot of food. They also required an extreme amount of planning and this shows that the
Strategy was a very prominent factor in how the Aztecs claimed the land that they did and grew to such an extensive empire. A map created from several sources shows how the Aztecs acquired
Tenochtitlan had very little soil but it was extremely fertile. Aztec farmers grew crops of all sorts like squash, beans, chili peppers, and maize in chinampas. Chinampas were like gardens built on lakes. Chinampas were typically long and narrow, separated by canals in a wetland environment.
""Agriculture was a big part of the Aztec empire. Agriculture helped the Aztecs flourish as a civilization. There 's a connection between territorial expansion and agriculture. Document A shows that the Aztecs expanded their territory by creating chinamas. The Aztecs used their farming method
History: Aztec Life and Culture The Aztec civilization is one of the most spectacular examples of culture and art found in world history. The Aztecs were a group of American Indians speaking Nahuatl who arrived on the North American continent from the arid cactus lands of Northwest. They settled in Mexico for centuries where they were initially enslaved by the other Nahua tribes before emerging as a powerful tribe. The history of the Central Valley of Mexico after tenth century A.D. is dominated by a long tradition of tribal conflicts that led to the fall of several civilizations, replaced by subsequent Nahua tribes.
