How The Incas Built Roads Influence The Inca Civilization

It was 1532 when Pizzaro set foot on Incan territory. The Incas declared war upon the Spanish and a battle soon commenced. But the battle was one sided, the majority of the blood shed was from the Incas and not the Conquistadors but was instead from the Incas. The battle was in no way fair as the Spanish had horses, steel, guns, books and germs on their side. Understanding why the explorers had an advantage over the explored is crucial to understanding why todays developed countries are the way they are and have an economical advantage over some countries.

The quest for riches is a common theme in this colonizer colonized story though, especially in the search for El Dorado. The discovery of the Musica people was central to Spanish colonization of Colombia, as the Musica tribe was rumored to be connected to this legendary city. Willie Drye, author of, “The Myth of El Dorado” expands on this, “when Spanish explorers reached South America in the early 16th century, they heard stories about a tribe of natives high in the Andes mountains in what is now Colombia. When a new chieftain rose to power, his rule began with a ceremony at Lake Guatavita.”  It was the Musica people who had this tradition.

All three of these are part of being a conqueror in some way. When the Europeans would conquer new land they would try to change the religion to Christianity just like when missionaries would go to promote a religion and when they conquered it would help them trade more because of new resources in their new claimed land and closer countries to trade with. In the age of exploration, for the Europeans it was all about claiming as much land as possible for themselves and their countries before other countries discovered these places which is why Europeans are

The Empire was well knows of their engineering and designing construction, such as accomplishing Machu Picchu only using wood and stone with bronze devices.

Amazingly how through all these productions, the Incas overcame the agricultural seasons and distributing the food, plus managing the storage and building extends.

In exchange for a land grant, the natives had to work on the fields, pay a tax and serve as soldiers for the landowner. Theoretically, the owner was supposed to establish schools and have a priest minister and convert the natives. However, “there are all sorts of abuse. It 's a very horrific system of labor exploitation” (Herman, lecture). Conclusively the encomienda system was the Spanish method of exploiting native labor and land for their personal wealth.

They were extremely creative, finding ways to live in deserts, forests, and prairies. They had established towns and traded peacefully over long distances. However, this was interrupted when the Europeans arrived in North America. These Europeans explorers brought immense changes to the American Indian tribes. The Europeans adversely affected the American Indian population by spreading infectious and deadly diseases.

Thomas Hobbes felt that if there were no contract then people would just act on instinct- rape, pillage etc- human beings in their natural state are inclined to war and distrust. There is a reason why we have the prison system, so that criminals pay for their actions and to protect the people. He states he has a wife that is expecting and two kids on the way.

Cuzco emerging as the richest city in the Americas went from a modest village to the center of Inca life and was transformed by Pachacuti, the first emperor. It was the home of Inca leaders and had the palaces of dead kings with all the riches they acquired while alive . The Incas called their empire Tahuantinsuyu which translates to "land of the four quarters" in Quechua, their native language. The empire of the Incas was divided into

The members of this tribe traveled, because they needed grass for their animals to eat. This need for more grass led to them to constantly move or in this case, conquer. Methods they used to gain control of others included, but were not limited to, execution, more conquering, brute force, or burning cities to the ground. Mongols used execution as a way to show what happened when a person did not listen. As a result, this instilled fear in others, persuading them to listen if they wanted to live.

The Roman Empire started out small in the beginning but was able to grow into a large power. The Romans had a little amount of land when it was founded so they used their military for the purpose of expanding and gaining more land. The Romans were able to conquered the area around them and all the way to modern day England to parts of Africa and the middle east. The Roman Empire used its troops to conquer an area then use its troops to assimilate the local population into the Roman culture to help lower the chance of uprising from the locals.

The Inca Empire The Inca empire was established during the 12th century A.D. in the Andes region and is known for having built a massive domain across countries. Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina made up what was known as the Tawantinsuyu. According to Cartwright (2014), “well-devised agricultural and roadway systems, along with a centralized religion and language, helped maintain a cohesive state”. Cartwright (2014) also noted that despite their power, the Inca faced adversity and were in several predicaments when colonized by Spain. Besides several diseases, they also must cope with a disparity in weapons which eventually lead to the empire being overtaken in 1572.
