Editing Aztec warfare (section)

===Fortifications===
The Aztecs didn't normally maintain tight territorial control within their empire but nonetheless, there are examples of fortifications built by the Aztecs. Prominent examples are the strongholds at [[Oztuma]] (''Oztōmān'' {{IPA|nah|osˈtoːmaːn|}}) where the Aztecs built a garrison to keep the rebellious [[Tequistlatecan|Chontal]]es in line; in Quauhquechollan (modern-day Huauquechula) near [[Atlixco]] where the Aztecs built a garrison in order to always have forces close to their traditional enemies the [[Tlaxcala (Nahua state)|Tlaxcalteca]], [[Cholula (Mesoamerican site)|Chololteca]] and Huexotzinca; and in [[Malinalco]] near [[Toluca]]. The latter is where [[Ahuitzotl]] built garrisons and fortifications to keep watch over the [[Matlatzinca people|Matlatzinca]], [[Mazahua people|Mazahua]] and [[Otomi people|Otomi]]es and to always have troops close to the enemy [[Tarascan state]] the borders with which were also guarded and at least partly fortified on both sides.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Smith |first=Micheal |title=Chapter 7 The Aztecs: in City-State and Empire |publisher=John Wiley & Sons, Incorporated |year=2011 |edition=3rd |language=English}}</ref>
