Which of the following American territories was associated with Aztec civilization?
Which of the following American territories was associated with Aztec civilization?
The correct option is D Mexico
The Aztec people were certain
ethnic groups of central Mexico, particularly those groups who spoke the
Nahuatl language and who dominated large parts of Mesoamerica from the 14th to
16th centuries. With the decline of the Toltec civilization came political
fragmentation in the Valley of Mexico, and into this new game of political
contenders for the Toltec throne stepped outsiders: the Aztec. Newcomers to the
Valley of Mexico, they were seen as crude and unrefined in the eyes of the
existing Mesoamerican civilizations, such as the fallen Toltec empire. Latecomers
to Mexico's central plateau, the Aztecs thought of themselves as heirs to the
prestigious civilizations that had preceded them, much as Charlemagne did with
respect to the fallen Roman Empire.
