Was the fall of the Inca Empire inevitable?
score:-2
Accepted answer
No, it was not.
- The Inca Empire was split at the time when Pisarro arrived. It was in the civil war. If it hadn't, the Pisarro's conquest would be impossible.
- Later, when Spain would advance closer, there could be a normal Spain-Inca war. But even much weaker Yucatan could exist independently for decades. Patagonia remained unconquered till 19 century. The much stronger Inca empire could easily exist up to the 18-19th centuries, like Ghana or Mali. If it could reach the level of Ethiopia or Siam and remain independent till the 20th century, is questionable. But even that is possible, for Incas could make alliances with Patagonians or get the support of the English against Spaniards. Their existence by itself could support the independence of other possible Indian states. Even the Bolivarian wars could develop in different ways.
