Building an Empire: Inca Imperial Expansion

Between 1438—if not earlier—and 1533, the Inca built one of the largest, most expansive empires in the history of the world, incorporating territory in modern day Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. How did they grow their state so rapidly? What strategies did they use?

Based upon fieldwork in Peru and Bolivia with a concern for cultural heritage preservation, Dr. Lawrence S. Coben discusses the roles of military prowess, trade, accounting, and ceremonial performance in building, maintaining, and ultimately losing their Imperio de los Incas empire to invading Spanish conquistadores.
