The Inca Empire - Now You See It, Now You Don’t

The Inca Empire disappeared in what felt like a blink of the eye, but how? At its peak, it stretched across mountains, deserts, and over 10 million people… yet within a few years, it was gone. So how did a Spanish force of 168 men bring down a civilisation of 10 million? The answer isn’t just steel and guns - it’s disease, division, and a brutal civil war that weakened everything from within. Add a kidnapped emperor, a ransom paid in gold, and a betrayal that sealed their fate, and you get one of history’s most shocking collapses.
