The Aztec was a culture in Southern and Central Mexico between 1325 C.E and 1521 C.E. They were conquered by the Spanish and it only took them 3 years to defeat the Aztec even though thir army was much smaller than the Aztecs. The Aztec had the most sacrafice out of all of the groups (Inca, and the Maya). The Aztec went on a journey in 1100 C.E to find an eagle sitting on a cactus eating a snake. They went on that journey because a god (Quetzacoatl) told them to, and then whenever they found that sign that was where they would settle. They started in Aztlan (Mexico City now) and they found the sign in Central Mexico and that was where they settled. Now the Aztec live in Guatemala mostly.
Before the Aztec found Aztlan they lived with a group they found along the way. They got kicked out though because they kid-napped the noble's daughter and skinned her alive for sacrafice. The Aztec then started their journey again and found the eagle sitting on a cactus eating a snake and that is where they settled. It is also the Mexico flag.
