Civilizations Fall• Maya– Mysterious collapse, probably fighting each other

which hurts agriculture, or over-farming destroyed the economy

• Aztecs– Montezuma II makes enemies with demands– Invaded by Spanish (Hernan Cortez)

• Inca– Sons divide the empire and fight about it– Invaded by Spanish (Francisco Pizzaro)

Essay Outline• Compare and contrast the Aztec and

Inca empires–Make sure you are using significant

comparisons and contrasts•There should be a reason for them•Avoid “one is in Mexico and the

other is in Peru”
