The name Inca may specifically refer to the emperor, but is generally used to mean the empire or the people.
Although the Inca showed a genius for organization, their conquests were facilitated by the highly developed social systems of some of the kingdoms that they absorbed, such as the Chimu, and the established agrarian communities that covered the area of their conquest.
During the early Inca period (c.1200-c.1440) the tribe gradually established its hegemony over other peoples of the valley and under the emperor named Viracocha (the name also of the supreme creator in Inca cosmology) allied themselves with the Quechua.

Spain pensioned off its soldiers with grants of New World lands and the labor of conquered people, just as Rome granted parcels of conquered land to retiring soldiers to repay them cheaply and to further subdue the provinces.
As did Rome and Spain, the Inca empire in the Andes undertook its conquests with the smallest standing army possible.
This done, the [chief] was restored to his former dignity and authority, and the Inca, as king, ordered the vassals to serve and obey him as their natural lord.

Spain itself had been through many problems in the past century or so, not the least of which was chronic famine especially in the kingdoms of Andalusia and Castille (Sale 35).
All of the situations in Europe and especially in Spain help us to realize what the Spaniards that conquered the Incas may have been thinking, where they came from, and the kinds of things that influenced them such as famine, disease, the Church, and lack of social mobility that they faced in their homeland.
The role of Inca was passed down from father to the eldest son of the Inca queen, not the Incas concubines, who herself had been selected from the best of the Inca's sisters.

 Incas and Conquistadors
In turn, all raids on Spanish settlers would cease and the conquistadors thus would be saved from the necessity of an arduous campaign to attack and defeat the Inca in the difficult jungles of Vilcabamba.
Titu Cusi was still in control of his jungle stronghold and had survived a decade of negotiations with the Spaniards, managing their expectations, restraining their armies and benefitting from their goodwill.
The Inca's policy of peaceful co-existence with the Spaniards appeared to be working and, after more than 33 years, the independent native state of Vilcabamba was still in existence.

 Graduate Student Profile - Bridget A. Kevane(Hispanic Languages and Lit)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The son of an Inca princess and a Spanish conquistador, a Peruvian who lived his entire adult life in Spain, el Inca Garcilaso de la Vega was the 16th-century author of Comentarios Reales, an account of the Inca Empire and its conquest by the Spanish.
Although El Inca wrote history whereas Cisneros wrote fiction, both were clearly exploring the life situations of people with a dual identity.
By analyzing the works of El Inca, Cisneros, and other bi- or multicultural authors, Kevane hopes her dissertation will yield new theoretical constructs of two fundamental terms: ethnicity and the autobiographical voice.
