Detailed explanation-1: -The Inca empire was located on the western side of South America. Although the empire was huge, it can be easily divided into three geographical regions: mountains, jungle, and desert.
Detailed explanation-2: -At its high point the Inca Empire stretched along the Pacific Coast of South America from Ecuador in the north through much of Chile in the south. The empire was long and narrow because the great Andes Mountains blocked settlement further inland into the South American continent.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Inca Empire was a federalist system which consisted of a central government with the Inca at its head and four quarters, or suyu: Chinchay Suyu (northwest), Antisuyu (northeast), Kuntisuyu (southwest), and Qullasuyu (southeast). The four corners of these quarters met at the center, Cusco.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Inka called their empire Tawantinsuyu, which means “The Four Regions Together". Each of the four suyus (regions) had diverse populations, environments, and resources.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Inca began as a small tribe who steadily grew in power to conquer other peoples all down the coast from Columbia to Argentina. They are remembered for their contributions to religion, architecture, and their famous network of roads through the region.
