Two manuscripts in one book:


• The Inca Empire: An Enthralling Overview of the Incas, Their Civilization in Ancient Peru, and the Spanish Conquest

• The Spanish Conquest of the Americas: An Enthralling Overview of the Conquistadors and Their Conquests of the Aztec and Inca Empires

For the Incas, death didn't exist; it simply took the dead to a different plane of life. So, the mummies of their emperors were treated as people; they were given food and drink and even visited each other ceremoniously. They also owned country estates, which generated enough profits to keep them in the style to which they were accustomed.

In the first part of this book, you will discover:

• How the Inca civilization developed out of a number of preceding cultures in the Andes and Peruvian coast;

• How quickly the Incas were able to expand and why they needed to;

• How the empire was administered and how runners were able to take messages from one end of it to the other with remarkable speed;

• The amazing Inca infrastructure program, which included building roads through mountain ranges and across raging rivers;

• Why Inca cuisine included tasty guinea pigs and llama jerky;

• Why there were never more than a few thousand actual Inca in the Inca Empire;

• The religion and beliefs of the Inca and how they developed over time to support the empire's mission;

• How just a couple of hundred Spanish adventurers managed to conquer and subdue the Inca Empire;

• How much Inca culture is left in Peru and Bolivia today;

The second part of this book tells the story of how Spain managed to conquer the Americas in the span of half a century, from the late 1400s to the mid-1500s. Although exploitation and warfare continued between the colonizers and the colonized after this period, the largest campaigns against the indigenous peoples were undertaken in this short time span, which is the focus of this book.

In the second part of this book, you will learn about:

• Columbus and his expeditions, which encouraged other Europeans to start colonization

• The makeup of indigenous American societies, from their social hierarchies and complex cultures to diverse political structures

• Colonization of the Caribbean islands and the establishment of the Spanish West Indies

• The arrival of Hernán Cortés and his groundbreaking expedition into the Aztec Empire in modern-day Mexico

• The conquest of the Maya civilization in the Yucatán Peninsula and the power dynamics between different power-hungry conquistador groups there

• The magnificent Inca Empire in the South American Andes and its conquest by Francisco Pizarro

• Stories of infamous expeditions and the problems the conquistadors encountered

• And much, much more!
