The Inca domination only stand a few time: from 1438 to 1532. An amazing expansion from Cusco has quickly been pursued by a big organization of all the annexed territories, from the North of Chili and Argentine to Ecuador and South of Colombia. This is at this period that Machu Picchu have been built (for more information of the Inca History, see the page intended for it).

OH! So this Machu Pichu was development such! Wow! Stunning! In ancient times, the people who like to go on peru photo tours used to arrange wars like nowadays functions! In 1534, Francisco Pizarro arrived to Cusco. The Inca was politically unstable, afraid by rumours and bad omens that circulated, Pizarro took the control of the empire with his 137 men, imprisoned and executed Atahualpa and took the Inca lands and richness. Eight millions of people died of cold, hunger, diseases brought from Europe (smallpox, typhus, etc.) and forced work, for what thousands of African or Indian slaves died, of accident or tiredness.
