Chapter three of Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond is a story about how Francisco Pizarro, the Conquistador, brought the end to the Inca civilization with only two hundred men. Diamond uses real accounts from six of the 200 men to tell what happened. The story goes like: Francisco Pizarro by order of the King to travel across New World and conquer the lands and riches for his nation. They had gathered information about an Incan Empire and soon sent their sights on capturing the Incans.

In this paper, the epic journey and expedition of Cabeza de Vaca would be discussed that why is his tale significant to understand the Spanish invasion of the Americas, what communication difficulties did he faced and what were the main aspects of his journey and our learning’s about native societies. 1. Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca (c.1490-c.1560) was born in Jeréz de la Frontera, Spain, to a respectable family; his initial profession was in the military. It was from San Lúcar de Barrameda that Cabeza de Vaca was to start his first venture in 1527 and, he was delegated second in charge of an expedition headed up by Panfilo de Narváez, who needed to assert the domain from Florida to Mexico for Spain. .

After the Spanish regained control of Cuzco, Manco Inca (The Inca Emperor) and his armies retreated to the fortress where he successfully launched attacks against Pizarro based at Cuzco and even managed to defeat the Spanish in an open battle. However, the Inca Emperor knowing that he could not fight a war in which almost everyone one of his people died from fled to the south in the mountains in Vilcabamba. There they founded a new Inca Empire which would remain independent for some decades. Tupac Amaru was the last Inca Emperor, he would later be murdered and the Spanish would take over Vilcabamba, even the Spanish King didn 't like this final destruction of the Inca Empire and did not want his death. However the Viceroy of Peru killed him
It soon expanded out into Asia and because of the Norse it came to Europe. In 1492 A.D., the discovery made by Christopher Columbus of the Caribbean Islands had started the beginning of the collision between Old and New World societies. The collision at Cajamacra was one of many whose outcome had shared the same fate of their similar end. However, what makes this one different than the others was the capture of Atahuallpa. Atahuallpa was the Inca Emperor and, “absolute monarch of the largest and most advanced state in the New World,” and Francisco Pizarro was a Spanish conquistador who was under the command of the most powerful monarch in Europe, King Charles I of Spain (Diamond, 68).
The Inca civilization was a successful civilization that thrived and was very successful in their region. The Incas were clever and master builders, they built irrigation systems in a dry climate and building that still last today. Second of all, the Incas may have been influenced by the Pueblo tribe that thrived in the region before the Incas and may have left behind things to contribute to the Incas success. The Incas were master builders and may have been influenced by an earlier tribe called the Pueblos.
(Doc. 7, Doc. 6) Not too far away from the Aztecs in time nor location were the Incas.
The Incans were completely withdrawn, they had no contact with distinctive social orders, and they rather assumed that the section of the Europeans
Pizzaro’s army had swords and guns, unlike the Inca. One of the difficulties that the Inca Empire faced was smallpox, which wiped out thousands of people. Not to mention, the battle with Atahualpa’s half brother. In the end Pizzaro captured Atahualpa (the leader of the Inca Empire). With this leverage, Pizzaro received twenty four tons of gold and silver if he returned the Inca’s leader.
Inca people were located in modern day Peru, the capital of Cusco. The place that they were located is nicknamed the “lost city”. The place was called the lost city because the city was never found by the Spanish invaders when they conquered the Inca in the 1500’s. By the early 1500’s the Inca people were located 200 miles north to
For instance, Societies from Mexico and south areas were bigger and greater in scale and organization than that north of Mexico, in which Northern Indian lacked literacy, metal tools, and scientific knowledge necessary for long-distance navigation. The Aztec empire is a very great example about the Native Indian’s power and development in Mexico and Central America during mid fifteenth century and the beginning of the sixteenth century. The Mexica were able to find a great empire and develop a very well sophisticated civilization in their land, which composed of different elements that could make up a society in that era. The Aztec were able to establish a central governing authority in their empire, in which they had a ruler. They called their leader the Huey Tlatoani.
Their time periods and capital were Pre and golden and the capital was tenochtitlan. Last but not least the Inca’s location was located in south america in what is now chile and columbia. It was humid and there were lots of mountains. Their time periods were the same as
In session 1 we were requested that make 'the machine' representing to a nightmare which was yet common but still evoked fear from the audience. We thought of one action and single word/sound for the every member of our group and delivered it using repetition. My Group, and I sat in a circle and brainstormed what a recurring dream happens to us individually and picked ideas. This was effective because the ideas that we come up with were original and unique and allowed us to have an abundance of different ideas that we select from, We also decided that people have nightmares because they do not want to confront something that is occurring in their life, so we used this to our advantage by looking at moments in our lives that we did not want
The ancient cities of Tula and Teotihuacan played a critical role in the development of the Aztec Empire. The Aztecs never knew the original inhabitants of Teotihuacan, but that did not stop them from deriving inspiration and mythology from the ancient city. The more recent Toltec civilization was also revered by the Aztecs and served as a source of the tlatoani’s legitimacy by descent. The Aztecs imitated both ideological and material aspects of these cultures when building their empire. Pre-Aztec Mesoamerican peoples contributed rituals of self-sacrifice, deities, and other cultural traditions to Aztec ideology.
