I know it’s the trendy answer that the Spanish didn’t do much on their own. That’s not the case. Everywhere they went they prevailed. They didn’t have an alliance of friendly tribes to help them defeat the Incas.
The fact is, they usually prevail in open combat. And where they didn’t, they do used superior training tactics and equipment to organize the defeat of the main enemy. Basically a special forces mission. The Spanish soldier and his ability really was a thing back in those days.
They defeated the Incas through trickery! They killed the leader and the Empire fell apart because it wasn’t setup to function with the leader.
No they had the Inca.
It was a civil war were one sides friendly allies turned out to be not so friendly.
And the Inca had so broken up their conquered people that there was no local not Inca leadership to fight off the Spanish.
Most definitely.
