A History of the Inca

Late in the 15th century, there was an empire on the Northern coast of modern-day Peru: The Chimor Empire. The Chimu made their home in the Moche Valley, the culture who had inhabited the area over 500yrs prior. On the dry western coast of the continent, the Chimu were able to create a thriving empire that controlled trade and made exquisite works of gold. If it hadn’t been for a certain Inca who was coming down from the Andes, it is possible that this podcast would have a different title.If you’d like to support the show monetarily please click the following link: https://www.patreon.com/incapodcast.

Now that we've covered the military and the road system that would transport it, we join Tupac Inca Yupanqui as he marches North. During his campaigns he'll subdue groups by both diplomatic and military means. He'll face groups at Cajamarca, a confederation near Quito and a fierce culture group near modern day Quayaquil. To cap it all off, Tupac goes on a sailing trip...maybe.If you'd like to support the show monetarily please click the following link: https://www.patreon.com/incapodcast.

Logistics can be often overlooked when one thinks of great armies or military feats. However, getting an army from one place to another is sometimes a feat in itself. Especially, when the army is in over pushing 100,000, marching through mountains in a land where the agricultural season was extremely unpredictable. However the Inca created one of the best road systems of any civilization in the world at that time. Of course they adapted some roads from the Wari and other groups, but the Inca would create a road way and supply system that stretched from northern Chile to Quito. It was their logistics as much as it was their numbers which would make Tupac Inca Yupanqui. “A bridge made of grass”: https://www.bbc.com/news/in-pictures-48628325If you’d like to support the show monetarily please click the following link: https://www.patreon.com/incapodcast.

The Inca would expand their borders in many ways: gift giving, strategic marriages and alliances. But their military would also come to dominate the Andes as well as the western coast of South America thanks to Tupac Inca Yupanqui. We’ll look at what the command structure looked like within the Inca army, what took place before the army set out on campaign and how they would engage in a battle.

Pachacuti has been getting up there in years. He can still administer his empire from Cuzco, but he can no longer go on campaign. When a rebellion breaks out in Collasuyu he can’t march with his army to put the rebels in his place. Instead, Pachacuti must rely on his sons to go and put out the rebellion. All the while, he is pressed by the Inca nobility to name an heir and one of the top candidates just marched south on the dangerous mission to quell the rebellion.If you’d like to support the show monetarily please click the following link: https://www.patreon.com/incapodcast.
