The Inca Empire, also known as the Inka Empire or Incan Empire, was the largest empire in pre-Columbian America. The administrative, political, and military center of the empire was located in Cusco in modern-day Peru.

Manco Capac established the Inca Empire in 1438. He declared himself Sapa Inca, divine son of the Sun. Manco Capac was a skilled warrior and leader who exercised absolute power. Most historians agree there were 13 emperors during the time when the Incan Empire existed. They were sometimes called, “The Inca”.

The Inca originated in the village of Paqari-tampu, about 15 miles south of Cuzco.

The Incan Empire existed in Peru. It ran along the Pacific coast and Andean highlands from the northern border of current day Ecuador to the Maule River in Chile. There were over a million people who were Inca.

During the reign of Mayta Capac, the fourth emperor, Inca began to expand its territory. However, it was the eighth emperor, Viracocha, who successfully achieved this goal by the early 15th century. Viracocha was able to conquer the Ayarmaca kingdom in the south and Urubamba valley.

By 1438, Viracocha was able to defend Cusco from his rival Chancas. In the succeeding years, he additionally conquered the kingdoms of Cajamarca and Chimu.
