The Aztecs had progressed beyond tribal society. They were an empire. If there had been peaceful trade, etc, they would likely be no different than you and I. They were certainly on the same path, if a bit behind.
- meddlepal 9y agoThey were a primitive technology empire though weren't they? I've always had the impression their tech was closer to that of the ancient Egyptians... so close to 2000 years behind the Europeans.
- cthalupa 9y agoSure. But tech catches up fast when you trade for it. And even if we'd left them completely alone, they almost certainly would have kept progressing, albeit significantly slower.
