The correct answer is A) Many years of war between the two sides.

The situation that preceded the peace treaty between the Zapotecs and the Aztecs was many years of war between the two sides.  

The Aztecs were a warrior nation. They had powerful armies that conquered surrounding territories and forced them to pay tribute. The Aztec capital city was Tenochtitlan, a beautiful city that had many water channels where canoes were the mean of transportation. The Aztecs were the dominant force in Mesoamerica before the arrival of Hernando Cortez, the Conqueror.  

The Zapotecs were a tribe that lived in the Valley of Oaxaca, Mexico, about 600 kilometers from Tenochtitlan. Due to territorial and trade conflicts, both empires were in a constant war. That is why the situation that preceded the peace treaty between the Zapotecs and the Aztecs was many years of war between the two sides.
