Aztec mercenaries



The Aztec were often used as mercenary forces by these tribes in their many disputes.  The aztec became fierce warriors due to this.  It gave them a chance to take ceremonial captives and to flex their military muscles.  Over time, they became such great warriors that they were able to conquer their neighbors outright.  This was the beginning of a long reign of dominance over what is now central Mexico.
