The Aztec Empire was a powerful civilization that thrived in what is now central Mexico before the arrival of Europeans. Established in the 14th century, the Aztecs built magnificent cities, including their capital, Tenochtitlan, which was known for its impressive temples and bustling markets. The Aztecs practiced advanced agriculture, including the use of chinampas, or floating gardens, to grow crops. Their rich culture included religion, art, and a complex social structure, but their empire faced destruction with the arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the early 16th century.
