There are many different theories of why the Maya Civilization ended. Some of the theories were warfare, over-population, rebellion, and climate change. I think the one that caused it all was warfare.

The reason why I choose warfare is because of how intense the Maya could be. They used wooden spears, stone arrows, and other hand crafted tools. Maya battles were always bloody. In fact, they even made a simple ball game called pok-ta-pok into a survival field! They even pierce their skin to give blood to the gods for sacrifice. Cities also battled against each other, sometimes even for no reason at all! 

So you see, the main reason I choose warfare is because of how the Maya battled a lot. They made it really bloody, and so they could've possible battled so much that they possibly killed every single Mayan.
