  • The indiginous mayans had tyrants that came to power through warfare. They dominated other cities and required tribute.

    Maya polities engaged in violent warfare for political control of people and resources. Among the most critical resources were water and agricultural land. Economic control of resources such as obsidian also increased competition among polities.[2] As polities became more successful, they also became more complex. This led to improved efficiency in acquiring and holding valued resources, especially through military force. Population growth increased the competition between polities, resulting in increased levels of violence.
