Moctezuma I expanded the empire by taking over the neighboring
lands and creating larger temples for Aztec Gods. He did hide behind his
religious beliefs for expanding his empire. He did everything in his power to
expand his civilization and religious beliefs. It was during his rule that the
Templo Mayor was hugely expanded. Many slaves were brought from the conquered
land for sacrificing their labor in favor of building this temple. These slaves
not only gave labor, but also provided other resources for expansion of the
temple.
