The Inca empire also created a way to control the climate. where their crops grew. This was a way to allow them to still expand their empire while still being able to provide for their country men. The Inca believed in using force as a last resort. Which led them to grow so large while not having civil war but if you opposed them they would kill everything and one in sight whoever was left was sold into slavery.
Guns, Germs, and Steel were the main cause of the fall of the Inca Empire. The fall was caused because of Francisco Pizarro whose army was small but way more high tech then the Incas. The Incas thought they could never be defeated but Pizarro lead to their defeat because of guns, germs, and steel.
The Aztecs and the Incas during their time were two of the most powerful civilizations. The Aztecs and the Incas had some similarities but for the most part they were very different. Each civilization way of life was changed once the Europeans appeared on American land. The Aztecs and the Incas social structure, government, religion, military, and trade were all things that were affected by the Europeans.
The word pre-Columbian is used to discuss the history of the Americas in the era before European impact. Pre-Columbian was frequently used in discussing the abundant civilizations of the Americas. During pre-Columbian America, there was nothing, but wilderness and Indians. There were about thirty thousand square miles of desert. The Indians set fires to the trees to kill the area. When they did this, adapted plant species were made. Indians caught fish in the flooded grasslands. When they modified the forest, they created fields to grow food, roads to travel on, houses to live in, and towns for needed goods.

Hernan cortes was a very important conquistador because he defeated the Aztec empire, and took over Mexico for Spain.

Francisco Vasquez de coronado was an explorer and a conquistador who led a large voyage from Mexico to present-day Kansas.
I am going to compare and contrast three tribes that were really interesting. The first one is going to be the Mayans, then the Aztec, and finally the Inca. The Maya, the Aztec, and the Inca had a lot of similar Rituals and ceremonies but also a lot of different ones. The three out of the following five topics are going to be Religion, Economy, and Technology. They all have their own ways of doing their own way. Religion is going to be about what they believed in and what gods and how they lived. Economy is about what were their main crops, what meat or fish did they eat. And Technology was what they made or came up how to use it.
The Inca and the Aztecs are two famous civilizations. These civilizations rose to power in the early 1300s and 1400s. The Inca and the Aztec are very similar in culture, but they are also very different by their geography and physical manpower. These peoples are very much known for their colorful culture and their dramatic end. People always want to hear about their interesting gods and their colorful culture. It is surprising how isolated, but, intelligent the Inca and Aztecs were.
One of the things that make the Inca different from the Aztecs is the location that the empire is located in .The Inca people were located in modern day Peru, the capital of Cusco. The place that they were located is nicknamed the “lost city”. The place was called the lost city because the city was never found by the Spanish invaders when they conquered the Inca in the 1500’s. By the early 1500’s the Inca people were located 200 miles north to
Imperialism is the policy of extending the rule or authority of an empire or nation over foreign countries or of acquiring and holding colonies and dependencies (Google, 2017). Drastic changes occurred to a variety of nation-states and cultures after imperialistic nations extended their control. This essay will highlight the influence of the Spanish on the Incas’ religion, trade and culture
Although the two empires shared similarities in their military tactics and expansion, they showed numerous differences in the capital and the societal structures. The Aztec civilization, which was mainly centered in Mesoamerica, was not brutal or harsh as many believed. It was rich in both heritage and rituals. Similarly, the Inca Empire, which was in the west of South America, spanned for many miles and succeeded in many professions throughout the centuries between the 13th and 16 century.
The Inca Empire was located in the Andes Mountain range on the western side of South America. Mountains separated coastal desert and jungle and were natural barriers that kept enemies out. As the Inca Empire expanded their realm their population grew which created more stable system of government and agriculture. Worked with rough and steep terrain and made farming developments such as terraces to work with the land they inhabited. There were two types of land, sandy plateaus and wetlands made a harsh environment for crops.
Living on the Andes Mountains the Inca Empire created Adobe or Stone brick homes from their ingenuity to over come the rainy like weather. With their ingenuity and craftsmanship this civilization created elevated aqueducts that prevents floods hitting their home in which it did work as some still stand. Although the this high altitude for these people would affect their lifestyle it still act of protection as it makes
First, the Incas were both master builders and stone masons and they created and built many useful buildings and roads. For example, the site of Machu Picchu in Peru was constructed by the Incas and its “city buildings and terraces…
Diego de Almagro was born in Almagro, Spain in the year 1475. He was the son of Juan de Montenegro, but was considered an illegitimate child. As a result, he most likely spent his childhood with other relatives. He was put to work in the fields until about age fifteen; this meant that he received no schooling whatsoever. At a fairly young age he set off to seek his fortune, but instead he became a wanderer and ended up killing a man in a brawl. Afterwards, he made the decision to enter the Spanish Navy. Though the years in which he served in the navy are unrecorded, it is probable that he stayed in service for a considerable amount of time before he left the country to join an expedition to Central America.
Europeans had many effects on the area now known as Texas and on the Indians. Few if any of those effects were positive. The Conquistadors affected the people, the land, and caused the colonization of Texas. They had many motives for their deeds, converting the Indians to Christianity, finding cities of gold, or just claiming land. A Spanish conquistador named Cabeza de Vaca crashed into the mainland near Galveston in 1528 and began exploring the area now known as Texas. He spent about eight years wandering among the Indians. In this time he met, traded, and earned the trust (and) respect of many Indians. De Vaca had a relatively friendly and peaceful relationship with the Indians. Unfortunately he encountered a hostile tribe of Indians who took
