Best Answer

The Aztecs thought Tenochtitlan was a good city because of its strategic location on an island in the middle of Lake Texcoco, which provided natural defenses against invasions. The city's layout, with canals and causeways connecting different districts, allowed for efficient transportation and trade. Additionally, the city was highly organized, with advanced architectural and engineering feats, such as the impressive Templo Mayor and aqueducts.

Why was tenochtitlan good for a site for a city?

the legend says that the Aztecs where searching for an eagle eating a snake on top of a nopal in a small island in the middle of a lake (those prophecies where more specific) so they just placed the city there, but the real reason was because it was near water. So, the Aztecs used the water for transportation and drinks. Also, it was surrounded by mountains and that gave them protection.


What are the Aztecs remembered for?

They sacrificed people. The prettiest girl, the most Athletic boy, the best of the best were sacrificed. They also sacrificed POW. They would pour the blood on the crops in hopes that the "Gods" would be pleased and give them good crops. The Aztecs are remembered for their violent system, and for their defeat by Cortes, in which the main city, Tenochtitlan was destroyed.

What did the Spanish do to Tenochtitlan?

Massacred them; the arrival of the Spanish, particularly Cortes, their leader, having been welcomed by the Aztecs as the long-awaited return of their god Qetzalcoatl, the 'plumed serpent'. After initial good relations between the Spaniards and Aztecs there were complications caused by political intervention on both sides, and the situation deteriorated to the point of the aforementioned massacre and destruction of the capital Tenochtitlan, despite the Spanish being vastly outnumbered by the Aztecs, but possessing firearms and horses.
