The main purpose of war in Aztec society was to acquire new territories, resources, quash rebellions, and to collect sacrificial victims to honour their gods. That is that sacrifice was one of the main purposes of the warfare for Aztecs. Warfare was crucial in Aztec culture and all male expected to participate and battle, actively.
