After the conquest of the Aztec people by Spanish conquistadors, there were very few artifacts of Aztec culture left for historians to study today. What happened to the evidence left by centuries of Aztec civilization?

Answer:

The Aztec civilization

Step-by-step explanation:

When European came to the New World, they fought with the Native American which led to the decline in their population. Europeans not only brought settlers but diseases that widespread in Central and South America. Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes invaded and overthrew the Aztec Empire by force and captured Tenochtitlan in 1521. The conquest by Spanish conquistadors destroyed and looted objects from the civilization. Little has been left related to the artifacts of the civilization for historians to study. The evidence is scattered in excavating sites and in forests.
