The Aztec Empire was overthrown in 1521 when Hernan Cortes, the Spanish conquistador, defeated the Aztecs at Tenochtitlan. The Aztecs were the dominant force in the region and were a nomadic tribe that was able to develop a variety of political, religious and social advancements.
The Aztecs were mainly located (at least in the earlier days when they were building their capital) in Tenochtitlan, their capital. Tenochtitlan was located in an island on Lake Texcoco in the Valley of Mexico (which is part of Mexico City). Tenochtitlan was built on a series of islets there, and the city plan was based on a symmetrical layout that was divided into four city sections which were called campans which were also divided into 20 districts called calpullis, meaning 'big house'. The climate there was mainly mild or temperate, so they mostly made clothes that were the best for warmer days and not as much for freezing climates (as they had a warm longish summer and short, slightly rainy, winters).
The climate also affected how successfully they farmed, since they were very agriculturally successful, and it probably gave them more suitable 'good days' to do stuff in and get more work done. But not only the climate affected them, but the geographical setting too. They were fairly geographically isolated because, after all, they were on an island in the middle of a lake, but their special farming method (called chinampas, meaning 'floating gardens') separated them from other civilizations as well. Since the major landforms around them were mainly marshes and the lake, it was pretty hard to build everything as the larger ones would always sink a little below surface on the soft ground despite the many precautions they made, like large wooden stakes were planted into the ground for secure foundations and the Aztecs used Tezontli stone to construct the buildings on such unstable ground. However, the Aztecs would simply rebuild the building over the old core (so many super old Az tec struc tures have many layers of building history to them!). Wings of fury game boy color.
The lake, however, gave them more resources. The Aztecs used bows and spears to kill fish and frogs, meaning that they were most likely extremely accurate with those weapons, and they used to lake to make canals f or the chinampas. Unfortunate ly, after the Spanish took over, most of the Lake Texcoco drained in the Spanish's efforts to control the flooding of it.
