The Aztecs should get credit for the inventions that they introduced to the rest of the world. Take chocolate for example, the chocolate was made by the Mayans. The Aztecs made the chocolate using a recipe that was similar to the Mayan chocolate. The Mayans kept this to themselves, but the Aztecs shared this with the rest of the world. One may think that it would be unfair to give some credit to the Aztecs because it wasn’t created by them. Without the Aztecs introducing this, chocolate would be unknown to most people. However, the credit goes to the Mayans. This shows that the very few inventions that mention the Aztecs, should be given credit to them as well. The Aztecs decided to recreate these things, but it got shared with the Spanish.
