the rise and fall of the inca empire.

The Inca started off kind of like the Aztecs. They had and emperor that made all of the decisions. But with the Inca people in order to expand there empire or government they had to conjoin with other tribes. The incas had a strong army of people too. So the emperor would send a loyal trustworthy person to talk to a certain tribe and basically they say do your tribe want to be apart of our government, if they say no the Incas will come and attack and basically take over. so either way its a win win for incas.

But on the other side in Mexico Cortez was conquering the Aztec empire. But some one who was with Cortez during that process was Francisco Pizarro. He came to the inca empire with not so many men. The Incas saw this men but didnt really consider him as a threat because its was more incas then spanish people. But Francisco invited the inca ruler for a meeting. He told them that the incas should stop doing and believing in the god they do. The inca emperor did not agree with this suggestion/ request at all. So Francisco got mad and all his men were fully loaded and just started attacking,and they took the inca emperor hostage. The inca emperor tried to make a bargin and give Francisco all the gold and silver if he let him go. But they gave him they the money but they kept the emperor hostage and he eventually died. and the spanish took over.
