The Eagle Warriors were elite shock troops of the Aztec empire, known for their ruthless tactics and dedication to warfare. The Aztecs were skilled warriors, trained from infancy for battle. Their society was militarized, and they used unconventional tactics such as capturing prisoners for sacrifice rather than solely aiming to kill in battle. Central to Aztec religious beliefs, human sacrifice was conducted on a massive scale to appease the gods. The Eagle Warriors, equipped with obsidian-tipped weapons, specialized in capturing enemies alive for sacrifice. They were the elite forces of the Aztec army

Not gonna lie this is missing soo many key details to the story it’s unreal. For example the army that Cortez raised after the night of sorrow’s was literally a Tlaxcala army which were all native allies. There was many trie es in Mexico at the time and they all hated the Aztec’s because between all of them they gave 80k ppl to the Aztec’s for sacrifice a yr. so Cortez found many allies and took them down after peaceful cooperation didn’t work. The reason Montezuma didn’t resist cause he knew that Cortez was just the beginning of the white man so cooperation was the only way towards. The citizens of tenochtilan got small pox so quickly and easily due to the malnutrition they had when Cortez seized the city. He never wanted to siege it as he wanted to donate it to his majesty Carlos 1/ 5 of Germany as a gift as it was the most beautiful city in the world.

Do they mention that flower wars were largely ritualized battles where they’d stop fighting once each side had gained enough prisoners for sacrifice? Not all battles were straight up conquest.

I am so happy to find this YouTube Channel, subscribed. Is this a new series or something? I started with the other episode of the Ninja, and now I am onto Los Aztecas, and I see these videos are recently uploaded content to the library, so this works out with perfect timing during my Dog sitting. Thank you!

In the Mexico and other South American countries, Aztecs and Mayans had many of different kinds of the warriors including the Eagle Warrior and Jaguar Warriors in the Aztec-Mayan civilization history. As the history buffs, Aztec- Mayan History is one of my favorite history books.

Fear is control, thus the enforcement of terror tactics must be a continual cycle, in order for fear to function to it's full potential. To coin a quote: "Rivers of blood"; literally. These were no 'warriors' per se, these were psychopaths who possessed sociopathic indifference to almost everything bar the satiating of purpose: Imposing fear on a grand scale. True Warriors are a whole other group of fighting men and women, in my opinion.

If you're going to tell a story at least get it right, it's not even close to the full story, personally I'm on Cortez side, the aztecs were hated and his arrival was just what the people they preyed on needed.

Montezuma got a taste of his own medicine when it was all over. Edit...The eagle warriors although elite were most likely used to commiting massacres against people who were already subjects of the emperor. The Aztec empire was a dictatorship and they ended up facing people who were just as ruthless as they were.

First off , they aren’t Aztec, they are Mexica. . Secondly not all were trained to be warriors . Some were priests, some were medicine people, some were calendar keepers, etc. . The Mexica have been portrayed solely as killers to try to justify how many were raped, tortured and killed by the conquistadors. The Mexica were highly educated and knew better hygiene and community care over the Europeans. Get these facts straight. Those who came in the name of religion killed millions of indigenous peoples of Turtle Island.

The Jaguars and Eagles were still only second class to the elite special forces warriors (The shorn ones) that the Spaniards cowardly massacred unarmed during a festival because they feared to fight them in battle. To be precise they massacred 8000 unarmed special mexican forces. A few managed to escape and they hid the treasure the Spaniards wanted. The treasure was never found so the 1000 Spaniards that died in Mexico died in vain. Aztec blood is still very much alive, that's why Mexico is top tier in boxing and not Spain. It is the Aztec blood that contains the secrets of warfare.
