Warfare was integral to Montezuma's rule. During the final years in the expansion of the Aztec Empire, Montezuma pushed the borders of his empire south to Xoconosco in Chiapas and the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. On the heels of his predecessor’s orchestration of the empire’s most significant growth, Montezuma II used his resources to consolidate power in the various territories within the empire. Montezuma was clearly a skilled political leader and administrator. But his insistent demands on his citizens to pay high tributes and his tendency to pull subjects (many, many subjects) from among the general population for numerous gruesome religious sacrifices has arguably given Montezuma II a more brutal reputation than even the conquistadors, whose inhumane methods in conquering the New World precede them.
