About This Lesson
This powerpoint presentation must be used along with Engineering an Empire: the Aztecs, a textbook that has information on both the Aztecs and Incas, clips from Amistad and 1492, and "maps columbus had access to" (a document I uploaded) along with a video on Vimeo showing the Martin Behaim globe. It covers the Aztecs, Incas, Spanish exploration, encomienda, mercantilism, and slave trade.
This lesson must be used with a textbook and film clips (no link provided) so it may be difficult to easily transfer to the classroom.
