Sican, Chimu, Inca: A History
This video charts the rise and fall of the Inca, from regional power to Spanish conquest. In the process we'll encounter and explore the stories of the Chimu and Sican as well. The Inca Empire ascended under Pachacuti starting in 1438 CE, who after vanquishing the Chanka, embarked on territorial expansions, and had Machu Picchu built. Successors Tupac Inca and Huayna Capac furthered conquests and solidified administration. Yet, the empire crumbled post-1528 CE due to civil war and then Spanish conquest, with the last Inca ruler Tupac Amaru's execution in 1572 marking the end of Incan resistance.
