a summary of the ins and outs (details) of their story.
During this period, between 1532 and 1574,
Spanish and Inca nobles brutally
(bloody, cruel) fought for dominance in the region. The Spaniards believed that
they should rule, and that their moral beliefs were superior to the Incas. The
Incas fought to protect their home territory. However, this is a complicated
period in history, because many indigenous subjects joined the Spaniards in
these battles. They
saw red (to be angry) when it came to the the Inca rule.
The extra help ultimately led the Spanish to victory. I find this period fascinating
because we can learn
a lot from it in the present; you can clearly see the
correlation (relationship). Many scholars would like to know more about the
Inca past, but learn very little because colonial
Spanish writings are often
dismissive (don’t accept) of Inca technology, and we don’t have Inca writings
to help us understand them better. All in all, we
learn that there are tragic
historical consequences of colonial conquests, and we hope to learn from them
in the present.
