How Did The Triple Alliance Contribute To The Rise Of The Aztecs

The Aztecs rise from the 14th century can be linked to the military strength. In 1430 the aztecs made an alliance with two other city states to form a triple alliance. The alliance went into wars of conquest and expanded. The alliance was able to dominate most of central Mexico and distant lands. When the Aztecs conquered cities, they left their rulers in power under the condition that they payed tribute to the Alliance and supply military forces when needed. In return, the aztecs offered political stability and protection to the cities. This system was efficient in preventing conquered cities from revolt and allowed for the triple alliance to continue conquest. Moving other main contributor of the rise of the Aztecs was the invention of chinampas.
