Asian Endogens
The Andes could be one of the most rural endogens places to live. In 600 A.D an early civilization started to develop in Chacapoya, Peru. This civilization was also called the Chacapoya civilization, and also known as the warriors of the clouds. The nickname was put upon them in part from the Inca people, there actual name is still a mystery. Though the territory of the Chacapoya people was extremely vast expanding through the region of the Andes. The Chacapoya people where known for being tall, white, and beautiful people.

It was said that during the 15th century that the Inca people were taking over the civilization of Chacapoya. The ruler at the time was Tupa Inca Yupanqui who lead his people to defeat the Chacapoya people.Before the attacks accurred the Chacapoya people were preparing for nearly two years, because they knew the Incas where coming to take over. The battles where very fierce and the Chacapoya people didn’t leave without a fight. The fort of Kuelepa provably put a big battle against the Inca people, and was probably hard to overtake. After fierce battles the Inca people defeated the people of Chacapoya. After they were defeated they were governed under there ruler, but they still manage to put miner resistance against them.
A few years after the conquest of the Inca, the Spanish arrived. Much of the information that we do know today was also provided by Garcilaso de la Vega and Pedro Cieza, which where poets and soldiers from Spain. Thus when the Spanish came to Central America the remaining Chaacapoya people decided to join the Spanish forces instead of fighting for the Inca

    The ‘Battle’ of Cajamarca was arguably the most important army operation of Spain’s conquest of Peru. Atahualpa had purposefully lured the Spanish into the heart of his empire, where he was confident he could call upon massive forces to surround and crush them if necessary. Unbeknownst to Atahualpa, Pizarro had designed a scheme for his soldiers to carry out: he would draw out the emperor and then capture him amidst his own troops, which would deal a heavy blow to the Incas. Pizarro invited Atahualpa to a meeting at Cajamarca, with 106 infantrymen armed with arquebuses, 62 cavalrymen, and four small cannons hidden within alleyways that opened into an open square in the town. Before the battle, Friar Vincente de Valverde approached Atahualpa,…

    By capturing Atahualpa at Cajamarca, the conquistadors had essentially defeated the Incas. Without its leader, the rest of the empire fell easily. Pizarro demanded a massive ransom for Atahualpa, consisting of an entire room filled with silver and gold. He then executed him, replacing him with a puppet ruler. Although several rebellion attempts occurred over the next 40 years, all were unsuccessful, and the Spanish finally colonized the region in 1572 as the Viceroyalty of Peru.…

Then Pizzaro heard a rumor about an Empire in the South that had a lot of gold like large amounts of gold and how they had sculptures of solid gold of Inca riches.

    In the 1500s 80,000 Inca were defeated by only 168 Spaniards, but how? The long term effect on the Inca defeat was the Spanish technology compared to the Inca technology. The Spanish conquistadores had developed guns, they also made steel swords where the Inca had only bronze weapons, the Spanish also had developed a written language while the Inca people had never even seen a book. Spain and all the rest of Europe had developed the plow and other farming techniques such as attaching the plow to animals. This use of animals also gave the Spanish an advantage because they soon became immune to livestock born diseases which they brought upon the Inca. All of these advantages gave the Spanish the upper hand in the fight with the Incas.…

    The Americas are places where beautiful empires from ancient populations settled, spreading their culture, architecture, knowledge, and art, among other qualities. Two important empires that were raised during 600-1550 CE in the Americas are the Aztec Empire in Mesoamerica, and the Inca Empire in the Andes. “The Inca Empire and its contemporary Aztec Empire grew out of political, economic, and cultural pattern that began to form around 600 CE” (Von Sivers et al. 433). The Inca and Aztec Empires are an important and valuable piece of history that represent the innovations and rapid growth from the past cultures.

    Any treasure they were able to find, however, would partially belong to the Spanish crown back in Europe. During the 1500's and 1600's, Spain began to take over Mexico City and Peru. Hernando Cortez was able to control and conquer the Aztecs. Ingeniously, he joined with tribes that disliked the Aztec rule, and therefore they were able to overthrown Tenochtitlan. In Mexico City, the with the Royal Council of the Indies, the viceroys of New Spain appointed officials or inspectors. For example, Indians would be expected to work in the mills. The viceroys would appoint the mill inspectors, so that not so much injustice would take place in the working areas since the corenation was notified of unfair mistreatment of Indian workers. Likewise, maltreatment of indigenous people was also common in Peru. Peru was first conquered by Francisco Pizarro in 1531 through 1536. With him, he brought diseases, killing many of the population. He also captured the Inca Atahualpa and executed many officials. Without leaders, the Incas couldn’t fight properly and gave in to Spanish control. New Spain now controlled Mexico City and the Inca land of Peru. Spain controlled their dependent nations with a centralized form of government. The lands, were divided in five provinces. The viceroys acted for Spain and represented the King; they were important and respected. The Council of the Indies made colony laws, members of the cabildo (city council) were appointed in each city or town in order to extend power. Also, supervisions were made in building towns and cities so as to not violate any Spanish laws. The encomienda system was popular during this time. Encomiendas were the rights to demand taxes or labor from the Indians of the land. Encomiendas were used to make the Indians work (such us in mines - Potosi Mine in Peru - or mills in Mexico City) even when they were in danger of…

    In conclusion, the Mayans and Incas were different in their lifestyles and religion, but both cultures participated in human sacrifice. The Mayans and Incas are fascinating to study because of the constant changes historians are finding in today’s studies. Despite their differences, the Mayans and Incas were once thriving colonies with ingenious ways of survival. Although, the cultures required sacrifices that are viewed as “sick” or “wrong” in today’s society, it was a part of who they were. Both cultures were very unique in their own way. These colonies were the start of innovation and survival in the…

    Central and South America is said to have been first discovered in the late fifteenth century; however, to say that the land before this time was unknown to all of humanity would be a fallacy and a great insult to the three great ancient cultures that ruled before their European conquest. The Aztecs, Incas, and Mayans were three distinct groups of people that thrived in the Americas prior to their “discovery” and all have a diversely rich background full of people, tradition, and culture.…
