WITH REGARD TO How they ruled their empires (Think SPICE subcategory Mita system is tax/tribute system Create complex bureaucracy Ruled by emperor Forced assimilation of conquered peoples to their way of life (language, mita system, relocated them) Tax & Tribute Systems Taxes paid on the value of goods & services sold by merchants & artisans Tribute demanded from conquered states Triple Alliance formed with Texcocans and the Tacubans Government system Treatment of conquered peoples Ruled by emperor who was elected by the high council & considered representative of gods Allowed local practices as long as tribute was paid Captives from war were used in human sacrifice Name:___Mrs. Rivas____ Direct comparison (Both have X, but A has Y and B has Z.) Both the Inca and Aztecs had advanced urban centers from which they ruled their empires, however, the Inca built a complex road network through the Andes Mountains to unify their empire while the Aztecs built chinampas and aqueducts to sustain their empire. Reasons why direct comparison is important Both Empires: o All work done by human laborers o These achievements have lasted to today and are still used or visible in some areas of the former empires o Testimonies to the advanced and complex societies created by these groups of people Inca road network through the Andes Mtns- steep ravines, extreme heights, handmade bridges Inca road network larger than that of the Roman empire Inca road network- series of tambos for state travelers Aztec chinampas- manmade islands used for farming Aztec aquaducts- allowed them to have access to fresh water, the source of which was in another tribe’s territoryo Shows how they had to interact with neighboring tribes Both Aztec advancements are necessary for the survival of their people Additional Sources: https://tarlton.law.utexas.edu/exhibits/aztec/index.html http://www.history.com/topics/aztecs http://ic.galegroup.com/ic/whic/ReferenceDetailsPage/ReferenceDetailsWindow?zid=9b4d8ed38c077421525 f28d7b2340949&action=2&catId=&documentId=GALE%7CCX3424400020&userGroupName=nypl&jsid=d9cf7 90db2059b3dfb71bede9cca0cf4 http://www.class.uh.edu/courses/engl3396/jtchris2/gods.htm
