Empire of War and Tribute
Empire of War and Tribute is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 2: The Aztecs in Pengi Social Studies (Grade 7).
Key Concepts
The Aztec Empire was built on military conquest. All young men were trained as warriors, and success in battle was the primary way to gain social status. The main goal of warfare was often to capture prisoners for religious sacrifice and to force defeated cities to pay Tribute .
Tribute was the economic heart of the empire. Conquered peoples were forced to send vast quantities of food, cotton, gold, jade, and jaguar skins to Tenochtitlán. This flow of wealth allowed the Aztec emperor and nobles to live in luxury while the commoners and conquered peoples provided the labor and resources.
