Teotihuacan began to make more and more demands on the resources of the tribes under its
control, taxes, hostages, and forced labour to work for the ruling classes in the city. Turning
these noble and independent tribes into virtual slaves.
Where once there had been a mutual respect between rulers and subjects now there was only
a simmering hatred mingled with fear.
At the first sign of disobedience or revolt, whole villages were razed to the ground and the
population carried off into slavery or summarily executed, men, women and children, non
were spared.
This decay also spread throughout the warrior class and it would only take a strong leader
with the right men behind him to challenge the authority of Teotihuacan.
