The Aztecs and
Incas found their military power less
|
|
|
effective
against nomadic frontier people; their empires
|
|
were based on
conquest and exploitation of sedentary
|
|

peoples.

There were
considerable differences between Incas
|
|
|
and Aztecs, many
of them the result of climate and
|
|
|
geography.

Trade and
markets were more developed among the

Aztecs.

Other
differences were present in metallurgy, writing
|
|
|
systems, and
social definition and hierarchy.

In the context
of world civilizations both can be viewed
|
|
