Aztec Jaguar Warriors: The Most Feared Elite in Mesoamerica.

[@geannasowers3125]

Aztec culture is very intriguing. Never knew there was so much depth to these warrior cultures. Mainstream schools don't teach the interesting differences of so many people. Love it❤

Awesome documentary! My only criticism is that the usage of "Jaguar warriors" becomes very overwhelming and could use some type of variety in how the sentences are structured at times.

[@GeneralHAWXX]

Jaguar and Eagle warriors were not the special forces of the Aztec Empire. It was the Otomies and the Shorn Ones who were the most elite and highest military societies within the Aztec Empire.

[@1lokaf6]

MEXICAS is one thing and AZTECS is another get you history right .The MEXICAS ,the most powerful and in hole western history. But then agin the other tribe gets enslaved fast and eazy .+ the MEXICA is the ones who freed every one frome slavery!!!!!.🎉

[@kevinbentley4132]

The jaguar warriors were not pesents, they were nobles warriors , also there goal wasnt to capture there enemy, it was harder for them to capture there foes during there battles. So not every battle did they capture people for sacrifices

[@nameless5r]

Going into the military was pretty much the only way for the lower class to advance so yes, some of them(i don't know the percentage) were "peasants." And the goal was to capture enemies alive because that was how they could advance in rank. They just didn't catch them every single time. And the goal was to catch them alive by not necessarily in one piece so they would often maim them.

[@laaguila92]

It’s not Tarascan’s it’s Purepecha and they never lost to the triple alliance in fact they won every war and battle against them and Michoacán was dominated by the Purepecha

[@ÁguilaSobreElAgua]

It's complicated since "purépecha" was used for the common people in the empire, since the empire was composed by a lot of pueblos, like the uacúsecha (the founders), nahuas, otomíes, matlatzincas and chichimecas.

[@dirkauditore8413]

Then why did the Purepecha not conquer Tenochtitlan?

[@laaguila92]

@@dirkauditore8413 because they didn’t have to they had a lot of hatred towards each other also fun fact the triple alliance was imploding with revolts from every tribute town and their subjects because they were getting greedy had it not been for the Spanish the triple alliance was gonna fall to the Purepecha eventually because they didn’t have diplomatic relations like the Purepecha the reason why tenoctitlan fell to the Spanish is because they let everything come in as in import and had no exports while the Purepecha was trading their goods with others and received goods from others they let things flow in and out as opposed to the triple alliance who just let things flow in which messed them up in the long run

The Spaniards didn’t defeat the Aztecs. They used the Tlaxcaltecs as their military Force.

[@captnwinkle]

Umm,so they did. Along with the many tribes that already hated the Aztecs along with their diseases but these tribes would have never allied themselves had it not been for the Spaniards so yeah, the Spaniards did indeed defeat the Aztecs

[@rafjangomdesan]

@@captnwinkle No. Disease took out an estimated 30,000 soldiers. The other 70,000 fought the Tlaxtecan Empire who had a military of about 80,000 along with over 20,000 Purepechan soldiers. Historians Give credit to 500 Spaniards defeating the greatest Military in Mesoamerica. That’s European Propaganda. The Greatest Mystery is How the Spanish Miraculously became Allies of The Tlaxtecans. One Theory is that the Moorish Empire had Established relations with said tribes centuries before the Spanish defeated The Moors in 1492. Conveniently the same year they discovered America.

[@rafjangomdesan]

⁠@@captnwinkleNo. About 30,000 Aztec soldiers died from disease. The Remaining 70,000 Went up Against 80,000 Tlaxcaltecan Soldiers along with about 20,000 Purepechan Soldiers.
