Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Many Inca attempts to regain their empire had occurred, but none had been successful. Thus the Spanish conquest was achieved, aided by factors like smallpox and a great communication and cultural divide. The Spaniards destroyed much of the Incan culture and imposed Spanish culture onto the native population.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Incas believed the gods had to be kept happy through worship. They held many religious festivals throughout the year, and these involved music, dancing, food, and human sacrifices. The Incas also mummified their dead, since they believed their ancestors continued to watch over the living.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the Inca won new territories they moved groups of leaders around to ensure loyalty. A trusted leader, most likely a close relative of the Sapa Inca, would be relocated to a newly conquered territory while those less loyal would be relocated where someone could keep an eye on them.

Detailed explanation-4: -At its height, the Inca Empire included modern-day Peru, what are today western and south central Bolivia, southwest Ecuador and Colombia and a large portion of modern-day Chile, at the north of the Maule River.
