The Inca empire is considered by many to be the most successful empire in the history of South America. They were a people who built an empire along the west coast of South America. It flourished for about a hundred years through some of the 13th and 14th centuries until they were conquered by the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro. One way that they were able to progress to such an extent is through their long and advanced road system, which itself flourished in many ways. It aided in connecting the empire and allowed it to progress far in a relatively short time. The road system thrived because of its vast length, sustainability and efficiency, messaging and rest systems, and the bridges used to cross otherwise untraversable gaps.

How is it possible that the small amount of Spanish conquistadors were able to defeat the strong and powerful Inca empire? The successful conquer was due to the death of the Inca king, Wayna Capac, and the spread of smallpox brought over from Europe and carried by Pizarro and his people. This caused the Inca’s to break into a civil war on who should be the next king, dividing the people making it easier for the Spaniards to conquer. Although Jared Diamond identified guns and steal and some of the most important things in the spanish conquest, the ultimate fall of the Inca empire was because of the germs from the Europeans and the civil war that broke loose after the fall of the Inca king. The colonization of the Incan empire was made successful

Much of Machu Picchu has been restored since its discovery to give tourists a window into what it would have been like to live there at its prime. Machu Picchu was built by the great Inca civilization in 1450 and it is believed that it was used as an imperial retreat for the Inca Emperor. Historians now believe that the abrupt abandonment of Machu Picchu was a result of the Spanish conquest, but one of the reasons that it is so well

Inca civilization began in the high plateaus of the Andes Mountains. The civilization grew slowly until Pachacuti took the throne in 1438. He conquered all of Peru and more. The Inca were able to do this because they had a strong military and they were good diplomats. The Inca only used force when it was absolutely necessary. They prefered to have enemy civilizations surrender. If an enemy civilization did surrender, the Inca would let them keep local customs and rituals in exchange for their loyalty to the Inca Empire. Many people gave up to the Inca without resisting, and the Inca found loyalty of conquered people to be vital to the development of their civilization. To govern their civilization, the Inca used a bureaucracy. They also imposed a single language to create unity amongst their empire. They created schools to teach Incan ways to other cultures within their empire. This influenced the children of the conquered people to support the Incan Empire. The Inca would also build cities in areas to show their control and power. The Inca were able to build roads, cities, and schools because every man in the Incan Empire had to complete tax in the form of labor, called Mita. This labor also allowed the government to support the sick and poor and save extra food in case of a bad harvest.
