Once the Incas conquered a province they divided the land resources up. It was divided into three areas, a part for serving the emperor, a part for serving the state religion, and a part to provide food for the locals. When the Inca emperors needed labor for public works or other state purposes they drafted it from the most conveniently placed provinces. A labor tax called Mita, was imposed on all subjects to maintain economic
The Aztec’s and the Inca’s have many similarities such as religious beliefs, and views about gods. Inca’s views about training for war are different, and the Aztec’s artifacts are somewhat different to. The farm land compared to the Inca’s is differs also, because where the Aztec’s lived the land was elevated about ten thousand feet.
The Aztec and Mongol empires were large, expansive realms that shared many similarities in their rise to power, but also had some differences. The Aztec and Mongol Empire's rise to power were similar politically in that they both conquered neighboring nations, similar socially in that their social structures both emphasized warriors, but were different economically in that the Aztecs relied on tributes from conquered lands to fund their expansion whereas the Mongols destroyed lands they conquered to prevent challenges to their power.
Prior to the Inca empire expansion of 1438-1493, gender roles were governed by the societal concept of gender parallelism. The Incas allowed this idea to become the foundation of equality in matters such as religion, economics, sexuality, and labor. However, the dynamic faltered as the Inca Empire began expanding at an aggressive rate. Culturally ingrained gender parallelism was manipulated for the success of imperial goals. The Inca empire expansion stripped women of the established autonomy gender parallelism provided, created a conquest hierarchy, and altered the entirety of Inca cultural practices for the sake of a larger empire.
There is a question that has been on many, many minds for years. This question is "Who was more savage and who was more civil between the Spanish Conquistadors and the Aztecs?" This question was created in the Age of Exploration when the Spanish and the Aztecs met and clashed, with the Spanish ultimately winning the war. There are an innumerable amount of reasons for why either of them could be more civil or savage. For me, this decision is extremely hard because I found myself going back and forth. After lots of thought and research, I've made my decision and I believe that the Spanish are more savage and the Aztecs are more civil.
In the distant land known as Sumeria, there were four empires that wanted to control all of Mesopotamia. They fought over water food land and many more things to fight about. All the civilization that lived in Mesopotamia rose and fell like the sun.
During the early 1500s, the spanish armada sailed across the pacific and successfully conquered the civilizations of the Aztec and the Inca. The key to the conquests success was due to the technology and experience held by the Spanish. The Spanish held four aspects that set them apart from other fighting forces, being weapons, alliances, horses, and the spread of disease. The Spanish had access to guns which shocked the Aztecs. The Incas did not have access to the technology of gunpowder. The Spanish were even able to hold their own with simple weapons such as swords and crossbows. Secondly the Spanish had an array of alliances. On Cortes’ first conquest he battled the local indians which in tern became an allied force on his voyage of Mexico.
The Spanish and the Ottomans were flourishing empires around 1450 to 1800. They both have very different cultures where the same ideas are used just in different ways that changed the courses of the empires. These empires were the breaking point to new and more advanced empires and discoveries down the road. While the Spanish and the Ottomans were two exceptionally strong powers who had similar ideals they also operated and thought in different ways as well about religion, government, and military.
Within the four quarters, the people were further divided into clans called "Ayllus". Each Ayllus was in itself a small community. Each quarter was ruled by a governor called 'Apu-cuna'. The governor’s primary responsibility was to make sure its land and people were working smoothly. Then came the officials; this included army officers, priests, judges, and others from the noble class. The tax collectors were next; there was once tax collector for each community (ayllu). At the very bottom of the pyramid of power came the laborers or workers. The majority of the Inca population was included in this section. The laborers were the driving force behind the Inca economy and the reason the hierarchical political system was in place. (Heinemann/Raintree ) Crime in the Inca Empire was virtually non-existent. They live in a peaceful society and cooperated with each other. When a crime did occur however, punishment did follow. The Incas did not have prisons. Instead for serious crimes such as murder, stealing and blasphemy offenders were executed by being pushed off a cliff. Less serious crimes were punished by cutting off the hands or
spread of information where the Inca Empire was able to conveniently keep up with the increasing number of citizens. Around this particular time economics was the exchange of taxes and goods in the form of labor through employment. Taxes were paid by working on a variety of public works such as building roads, bridges, temples, tunnels, etc. This currency-less system supported the growth of the ...
Geography played a big role in history and made each empire unique in its own way. Geography had positive and negative effects when it comes to location, access to resources, and trade. For the Spanish and Mongol Empires, geography played a role in state formation as well as affected their strategies of rule. Considering that the Mongol Empire began in the 11th century and the Spanish Empire in the 15th century, the affects that geography had were significantly different regarding their state formation and forms of ruling, however, there were some slight similarities in the process of building up their empires. Both the Mongol and Spanish Empires were similar in that they used trade as a mechanism for expansion and connection, however, they differed in that the Mongol Empire focused on conquering territory throughout the Afroeurasian landmass while the Spanish Empire devoted its attention to overseas territory.
Freom 1750 to 1800 Latin America had a large working class of Mita and Slaves. The mita was a labor system used for lands assianged to the state and the region; all communties were expected to contribute, an essential aspect of Inca imperial control. The mita were subject to poor condition in mines, similar to what was occuring at the same time in Africa with El Mina with Portuguese working Africans to get goods, like gold. The slaves were needed and imported because the native population declined
The continent that the Aztecs are from is South America but really north of South America. Their landforms that they had not that much land to farm on. They lived on a lake so it was really difficult to farm until. They had the idea to farm on boats so they got fresh soil and put it in the boats. After that they would apply seeds and water them and let them sit for a few days to see if it would actually work. It did and with it it made farming a lot easier than before. Some of the important places were temples and palaces and the city Tenochtitlan which is the city on the lake but today is now Mexico.
Their religion also emphasized ancestor worship. At its basis,Incan religious beliefs were intimately connected with nature and included the belief that Inca rulers were direct descendants of the sun god, Inti.”The Inca Empire, also known as the Incan Empire and the Inka Empire, was the largest empire in pre-Columbian America, and possibly the largest empire in the world in the early 16th century. One of the Inca civilization's most famous surviving archaeological sites is Machu Picchu, which was built as a retreat for an Incan emperor”. The Incas called their empire Tawantinsuyu, the “Land of the Four Corners,” and its official language was Quechua.The city proper had a population of around 40,000 with another 200,000 in the surrounding area at the time of the Spanish conquest.
