Which of the following best describes the relationship that the Chinese and Aztec empires had with their respective peripheral states during the fifteenth century C.E.?

A. Both empires used military force to severely limit the sovereignty of their peripheral states.

B. Both empires actively sought to assimilate the citizens of their peripheral states into their respective core cultures.

C. Both empires welcomed the diffusion of cultural traditions from their peripheral territories.

D. Both empires established tributary relationships with their peripheral states.

The Aztec empire was the tri-alliance of three Mexican states namely Tenochtitlan, Tetzcoco, and Tacloban. The Qing dynasty was the last know dynasty of china and was the most enduring empire on earth.

Both these empires used military forces to limit their sovereignty of the peripheral states towards their core states.

China and the Aztec empire operated a Tribute system in the fifteenth century whereby states or people that they had conquered or were inferior to them (peripheral states) paid them tribute.

These tributes were a source of income for both states and solidified the dominance both states had over the peripheral states.

Hence the option C is correct. The empires established relationships with their peripheral states.
