The Inca Empire was a group of populations that settled on the South American continent with the most extensive dominance throughout the history of pre-Columbian America. On the other hand, the territory in which this civilization was established is known as Tahuantinsuyo, while the period for which its dominion remained in force was called incan. The Inca territory covered more than 2 million square kilometers distributed between the Pacific Ocean and the Amazon jungle, from the vicinity of Pasto in the north of the region to the Maule River in the south of the continent. The Incas were characterized by being conquerors, managing to seize the aforementioned territories.
According to various remains found in archaeological excavations, the Inca Empire began approximately in 1200 AD However, only a mixed domain was established in Cuzco, in fact, there are no data about the monarchs that were in force until 1438 Between the years 1438-1471 is when the first Inca individual is made known, who was called Pachacútec, who had a great Empire according to experts and the results of the various excavations, in addition to dividing it administratively, in order to make governance easier.
By 1471 Tupac Yupanqui, a monarch who made great contributions in the military field, was able to expand the Empire to the south and establish the border of the Empire in the Maule River.
In the year 1493, Huayna Cápac ascended to the throne, who was forced to face a series of insurrections of the subject peoples that were part of the Empire. In general, this type of revolt took place every time an Inca died, since the enemies considered that this was the moment of greatest weakness of the Empire. That is how it was necessary to face the Chachapoyas, thus being able to annex the Gulf of Guayaquil, which made it possible to open the way to the banks of the Ancasmayo River in Colombia where the border would be established.
