Are the Aztecs peaceful or they warriors?

The Aztecs were primarily known as warriors, famed for their military conquests and expansion of their empire in central Mexico. Their society was heavily militaristic, with a strong emphasis on warfare to obtain resources, territory, and captives for religious sacrifices. While they did engage in trade and had complex diplomatic relationships, their culture was deeply intertwined with warfare and conquest, making them more renowned as warriors than as a peaceful society.
