The Aztecs built their empire's wealth by collecting tribute from conquered peoples.

Explanation:

Conquered people had to pay tributes to the emperor. Some people captured in war were used for human sacrifice. The Aztec Empire was the last of the great Mesoamerican cultures. From roughly 1350 to the mid-1500s, the Aztecs built an empire that covered a great part of the highlands in central Mexico. It was said to cove over 80,000 square miles at its height. Before the arrival of the Spanish, millions of people were paying tribute to the Aztec ruler.  The tributes were paid by conquered communities in the form of food, cotton, animals, building materials, as well as young men who could act as soldiers. This helped to support the growing population of Tenochtitlan and gave the Aztecs the ability to pay warriors, priests, and servants and further build the symbolic power of their empire.
