Geographic Location

Do you want to know why 160 spanish could take over the whole inca empire on their own? Well the answer is geographic location, because the incas didn’t get as lucky as the spanish did when it came to where they were on the map. The reason being is the spanish got lucky getting a great climate for farming wheat and inhabiting domesticated animals also in their area Iron was in the ground so that they could later make steel. The incas not getting as lucky being stuck with only one domesticated animal that was basically useless, the lamma and instead of iron they only had copper, and gold being weak metals to defend themselves with.

A basic human need was to eat and if the people could eat they could focus on other things that is if they had a steady supply of food like all of Eurasia did. Eurasia had wheat because their climate allowed them to grow it their and it wasn’t to harsh of a climate to grow it their unlike most of the world.

The people of Eurasia settled down and were able to focus on things other that basic human needs. They were able to focus on inventing new things and be able to advance their …show more content…

A lot of places were not that lucky sometimes getting one of the requirements but not having the other as some had the right climate but no iron and some had iron but not the climate making it unfair for some civilizations. One of the reasons why the spanish was able to invade the inca empire with ease was because of their far superior armor and weapons made of steel vs. the incas bronze. The incas had the right climate but they just didn’t have the right metal to work
