Watching it, I also can't help but think about the same thing. If it only a hundred Spaniards left in two buildings against 100,000 men, why not slowly barricade outward inch-by-inch to the buildings and isolate them? Why not take create small squads of your best men from the 100,000 to continually wear down the men? Why not take Quito's deliveries of Spanish armor and weapons to arm and armor a small elite to make small engagements so you can at least "trade" casualties into attrition? Maybe even to scare them into surrender and thus effectively neutralize them without a long siege? But the honest reality is war is not a Total War game. One thing I still don't fully got my head around is that fighting, commanding, and tactics are really just that hard. Most battles are sporadic individual melees that people only know what's going on within eyesight. Tactics and command are more following established cultural systems than individual thinkers giving orders or appointing people. The video's example of the Bolas is an example in a way. Innovations in tactics requires everyone to be on the same page, even if someone has the idea, it either has to be something familiar enough so people would collectively start using or someone in a position make everyone use it. If you're on the ground in the rebellion back then. You're likely going to be an individual soldier. And soldier is a misnomer. You're likely just a farmer called up to fight. And since innovation requires a large number of people to be on the same page, unless it something everyone can immediately recognize.

It was so much fun to put this series together for you guys. As usual, if you have any questions about the Inca or even want to get a head start with Maya questions throw them at me. I'm happy to answer them. Also here's an interesting fact that had to be cut from the video. The very same men that assassinated Francisco Pizarro were the same men that assassinated Manco Inca. They had been paid by Diego de Almagro's son to kill Pizarro and after lived with Manco in Vilcabamba for a few years before also killing him. Interesting endings for the two major players in our story.

All you say is a HALF TRUTH. God, why you downplay the role of the Spanish native allies? 1. Francisco Pizarro MARRIED the daughter of the Huaylas "Queen" (Curaca actually but I don't know how to translate the title). The seige of Lima ended when thousands of Huaylas arrived to help Pizarro. 2. The Spanish managed to survive the seige of Cuzco BECAUSE they had THOUSANDS of Cañari and Chachapoya allies. You are making natives look like stupid, ignorant, savages unable to push back 200 a-holes. This is what Spain would like to say was the Spanish conquest, but this is not how ACTUALLY happened.

I'm really happy that this video covers the Inca resistance to the Spanish after Cajamarca! A lot of popular history only cover the battle/massacre of Cajamarca and Atahualpa's murder and then leave it there, as if that was the end of the Spanish-Incan War. It wasn't, the Incans fought for decades against the Spanish and they learned good tactics for fighting against the Spanish and adopted some of the Spanish means of war, such as steel and horses. They certainly didn't go down without a fight (as people might assume from the ease of the capture of Atahualpa), even after the fall of Vilcabamba. People should look up the rebellion of Tupac Amaru II in 1780-1782. And even though the Spanish brutally surpressed the Inca language (Quechua), culture and religion, all these things have survived at least partially into the present day. Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia have large indigenous populations (who form the majority in Bolivia). Despite ongoing discrimination, Quechua and Aymara are still widely spoken in the Andes and Inca festivals are still celebrated with a fusion of Christianity and the Inca religion (for example the Virgin Mary is often referred to as 'Pachamama' the Incan Earth goddess).

@Komnenit

5 жыл бұрын

Stop with your black legend nonsense. Spain didn't "brutally supress" the Quechua language or the inca culture, the natives kept many of their tradition and the new mestizo (mixed) population was gradually hispanized. The fact you still have natives in Peru and Bolivia speaking quechua and aymara is the result of Spain's protection of the natives with laws such as the laws of Burgos and the Leyes Nuevas. Spanish administration was interested in spreading catholicism and receiving feudal tribute through mining silver and agriculture with the hacienda system; not in destroying the natives' culture or language. Honestly, if you compare it with North America you see who was the real brutal and genocidal colonial power: England.

@@Komnenit Ok, things are a little more nuanced. The Spanish did surpress the native religion, established a racially-based hierachy and enslaved Indians to work in places like Potosi. But they didn't setout to destroy Quechua and Aymara and tolerated some Inca culture and traditions. I don't mean to single out Spain, the English were just as brutal, if not more so.

Manco Inca's full speech "I have sent to call in the presence of our relatives and servants to tell you what I feel about what those foreigners want from us so that in time, and before they get together any more, we can give order to what is generally convenient for everyone. Remember that the past Incas, my parents, who rest in the sky with the sun, sent from Quito to Chile doing such works to those they received as vassals that it seemed they were children coming from their womb: they did not steal, nor did they kill, but when it was convenient to justice, they had in the provinces the order and reason that you know. The rich did not take pride, the poor did not feel need, they enjoyed tranquility and perpetual peace: our sins did not deserve such gentlemen, rather they were an opportunity for them to enter our land these bearded ones, since theirs is so far from it, they preach one and do another, all the admonishments they give us they do it backwards. They have no fear of God or shame, treat us Like dogs, they do not call us by other names: their greed has been so great that they have not left a temple or a palace that they have not stolen, but they will not save them even if all the snows turn to gold and silver. My father's daughters, with other ladies, your sisters and relatives, have them as mistresses; and do this bestially. They want to distribute, as they have begun, all the provinces, giving each of them one, so that as a lord he can steal it. They tried to have us so subjugated and overwhelmed that we have no more care than to look for metals, provide them with our women and cattle. Without this, the anacondas [perpetual servant or captive] and many mitimaes [resettlers] have joined themselves: these traitors before did not wear fine clothes or put on rich llauto, as they joined with them, they treat each other as Incas; I don't even need to take off my tassel anymore, they don't honor me when they see me, they talk loosely, because they learn from the thieves with whom they hang out. The justice and reason they have had to do these things and what these Christians will do: look at it! I ask you: where did we meet them, what do we owe them, or which of them do we insult so that with these horses and iron weapons they have waged so much war against us. Atabalipa killed without reason, they did the same to his captain general Chalacuchima; Ruminabi, Zopezopagua, they have also died in Quito in fire because the souls burn with the bodies and cannot go to enjoy heaven: it seems to me that it will not be a fair and honest thing that we consent to such, but that we try with all determination to die without none remain, or kill these cruel enemies of ours. Of those who went with the other tyrant of Almagro, pay no attention, because Paullo and Villahoma are in charge of lifting the land to kill them." (CRÓNICA DEL PERÚ Tercera Parte Cieza de León,

According to wikipedia, the entire thing is just referred to the "Spanish Conquest of the Incan Empire." Though, in general, there are lots of names when it comes to wars. While I have no confirmation, I think it wouldn't be a stretch to say that the name of the war during its time would be different than the one we know it as today, or is at least a variation of the same meaning. And for whether or not the Spanish government is involved, well.. I don't really know for sure! It would be likely that they were, but you can't say for sure without a reliable source, which aside from this video, I don't really have. Hope I helped, though.

The Spanish Government actually got involved in the last part of this war, when viceroy Toledo was sent to eliminate all inca resistance. Before his arrival there were shorts ceasefire between the Vilcabamba incas and the spanish settlers. Toledo finally executes two of the sons of Manco Inca, and Tupac Amaru, the last and the youngest of Manco Inca's sons, fled more deep into the forest and eventually got captured and executed.

As always truly amazing, this series really make justice for the Incas, such a shame you couldn't include the Battle of Ollantaytambo such a pivotal point in manco's rebellion in were the Chronicles tell than manco and some other soldier ere Making use of Spanish weapons and armor and even riding horses, but hey by all Accounts this is the best video explaining this last period of the Incas. I have just one question for Cogito's and it is ¿From were did you get all this information with such a level of detai?l I mean it's truly amazing and I really want to know more. Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm happy you enjoyed the video and am even happier to help you learn more. The primary books that I learned most of this info in were Terence D'Altroy - The Incas McEwan - The Inca New Perspectives Nigel Davies - The Inca Kim MacQuarrie - The Last Days of the Inca John Hemmings - The Conquest of the Incas These are great starting off points. Osprey Publishing has some good short magazines on the conquistadors and the Native Americans and they really helped me figure out some of the military details.

Great video I enjoyed it very much. I very much appreciated the actual quotes made by real people at the time, Please keep those quotes and other such details coming, they really bring the stories in your videos to life. They remind us that real people actually lived out the tales you tell. The inclusion of such details implies that you actually try to faithfully piece together the real stories yourselves by sifting through actual historical accounts for us and not just belching out what someone may have read on the side of a cornflake packet the morning before like some channels clearly seem to. The actual work of true enthusiastic historians is appreciated, you might like to tell us some of the behind the scenes details of your videos in a special video one day ;) . Final note: The unbelievable but true story of Pizarro flabberghasted me from the first time I read about him years ago. So a special thumbs up for the recounts of his tales from me.

Yeah, but we don't know how reliable many of those quotes are, like for example, in the previous video, they cite the supposed words of the priest after Atahualpa threw the bible to the ground, the thing is, that's only from ONE account, each account differs on what the priest said, none can agree, one of them says the priest ran back out of fear while crying for help. Truth is that we don't actually know what the fuck happened in the conquest of the Inca Empire, no account tell us the same. We can, however, tell the broad events, which is what most of the Inca historians do. you see, unlike Hernan Cortez conquest of the Aztecs, we don't really have reliable first-hand accounts with the Inca, many things we know of the Inca and its conquest were recorded many many decades later after it happened, often from 2nd or 3rd hand sources, plus, basically all accounts are from people that weren't interested in writing the naked truth, most of the conquest accounts are "provasas", documents used to legitimate land ownership and rights among the conquerors and it's families often exalting and exaggerating the facts or made them up so the earnings given by Spanish authorities could be higher, others were written as knight-novels, also with profit in mind, so the authors didn't particularly worried about accuracy, the priest quote is one example, I mean, which one do you believe is more likely? The Inca empire and it's conquest was a half-forgotten thing by the time people bother to write about it, and they were often biased in order to fulfill their agendas because of the very politically convulsed Andes of that era, that's why they differ some much from one to another. for example, some accounts talk favorably in regards to Pizarro while others to Almagro because of their particular affiliations, similarly, mestizo chroniclers often attribute the same feats to different Inca Emperors because of their affiliations with certain Inca clan families or "Panaka", some talk favorably of Atahualpa and ill of Huascar while others do the opposite because of their family grudges since Inca civil war. And also unlike Mexico Aztecs, we don't have first-hand accounts of the native side of the conquest to compare, we have one sole native account, the one of the Vilcabamba Emperor Titu Cusi but all Inca historians know that isn't reliable at all since it was written to be told as an Incan tale full of Andean metaphors more than an accurate chronicle. and Titu Cusi was born much later after the initial conquest, he also had an agenda, mostly biased against Atahualpa in this case, I mean he told us that his farther Manco Inca was the rightful heir, thing we know is not true, and the account was recorded by a priest who edited it, so they probably aren't his exact words.

@ititioioi2882

People that recorded much of what we know of the Inca weren't you typical historians but people with several political affiliations who wrote in order to fulfill their multiple agendas, to gain lands, money, and prestige more than to preserve history for the prosperity. I mean, the reason why this channel and history books tell you that they were about 3,000 Incas in the Cajamarca plaza isn't because Spanish chroniclers, but because archaeological work done on the same Inca plaza buried underneath Cajamarca which couldn't physically sustain more people, if no archaeological work was done there, it would be 40,000 instead, like 20th century historians accepted. I also partially blame this fact to the very politically unstable Andes of that era, with multiple sides for one thing or another, assassinations, civil wars between europeans, and also between natives, the collapse of the empire left multiple power vacuums for several years and the power-hungry people saw the opportunity. There were many people who switched factions several times, natives and europeans alike, Spanish soldiers who sided with the Incas against their fellow Spaniards like in the siege of Cuzco, Cusquenian Inca citizens who sided with the Spaniards in the siege of Cuzco, Caciques who sided with the Spaniards firstly because of their political affiliations with Huascar and later because of political-power aspirations, Spaniards newly arrived from Guatemala who saw an opportunity to sack the north of the empire, remnants of the Atahualpa army in the northern empire enemies of the southern Incas but also of the Spaniards, Yanakuna servants rebelling, black slaves rebelling, soldiers of Paullu Inca the new puppet emperor elected after Manco left battling against Manco's troops, Spaniards of Pizarro/Almagro factions waging a war for the city of Cuzco with both sides supported by different Inca families and others, Vilcabamba Emperor Sayri Tupac signing peace with the Spaniards, Emperor Tupac Amaru throwing the peace treaty out of the window, people who sided with Pizarro, with Almagro, with Vilcabamba, with Cuzco, the huancas, huayllas, chachapoyas, etc. There was so much happening. In the end, colonial administrators send by the King himself arrived in Peru in order to stop all the chaos that was happening, the first viceroy dispatched was beheaded, the second one beheaded Gonzalo, the leader of a conquistadors' revolt who were waging a war against the new colonial government, many of those rebels desired to proclaim independence marrying their leader Gonzalo with an Inca Princess to create a weird Spanish-Inca kingdom of Peru, “this land belongs to the ones that conquered it” they said. Later the newly Spanish administrators destroyed the remnants of the Inca empire in Vilcabamba. With that relative peace was finally achieved, but most of the people who had a first-hand experience of what really happened died, such as Almagro or Pizarro.
