General Info Aztecs = in Mexico and Central America Incas = in South America Both lacked: work animals, metal tools, wheels Both still developed: centralized governments & armies and both conquered other empires Both ended when: conquered by the Spanish

Aztec Empire

Inca Empire

Aztec Empire Capital = Tenochtitlan (modern-day Mexico City) Agricultural center and marketplace

Aztec Empire Built chinampas = artificial islands used for farming made by piling mud from the lake onto rafts  floating gardens As population grew, Aztecs expanded outside of the city  built canals and bridges to connect the mainland to the island where the capital was

The Empire Stretched from Mexico to the border of Guatemala Stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean Conquered people had to pay tribute (taxes) in the form of: food, clothing, raw materials, prisoners for sacrifice, jewelry, military supplies, rubber balls, etc.

The Empire Aztec civilization organized as a hierarchy At the top = the emperor Classes = nobility, commoners, serfs, slaves Land owned by: nobility and commoners Commoners = priests, merchants, artisans, farmers Serfs = farm workers tied to noble lands Lowest class = slaves = prisoners of war; criminals; debtors – often sacrificed

God of dying & resurrection Religion & the Arts Religion moved them to engage in war and sacrifice Live human sacrifices were needed to keep the gods happy Aztec artists decorated temple-pyramids with scenes of gods or battles Writers glorified Aztec victories in their works Quetzalcoatl God of dying & resurrection

The Inca Empire Lived in the Andes Mountains in South America Empire stretched about 2500 miles along the Andes Capital = Cuzco

The Inca Empire Raided other tribes and slowly built a large empire Strong central government  local rulers had to report to Inca emperor Unlike the Aztec Empire, which had no centralized government or complex administration

The Inca Empire Emperor closely controlled the lives of common people Owned all land and carefully regulated the growing & distribution of food Farmers used step terraces on hillsides Part of all crops after every harvest went to emperor as taxes

The Inca Empire Work crews built roads & bridges to link different regions of the empire Gods pleased with food, animal, and human sacrifices Not even close to the scale of the Aztecs No writing system  used quipus to record information = ropes with knotted cords of different lengths

The Inca Empire Mita = labor service used Required periodically of every household Required to work for the state Examples: farming, herding, mining, crafting manufactured goods, construction In return: state provided elaborate feasts for the people

“Gender Paralleliism” Both the Aztec and Inca Empires used this system with men and women Separate spheres and responsibilities, but each one equally valuable Each had autonomy in its own sphere Did NOT mean total gender equality
