	No Replacement For Displacement:
		The Three Hundred Spartans were able to hold off a Persian army of thousands at Thermopylae for quite a while before being overwhelmed(and that only due to another Greek's treason), and in turn gave the Greeks the time to raise an army and throughouly defeat the Persian army.
		Barbarian(non-western) armies would try to break the line of Roman armies and almost invariably fail, because Centurions had that capability to react on their own.
		In almost every conflict in recorded history, Western armies have shown more individual initiative than their non-western counterparts, and this initiative has paid off in handsome dividends on the field of battle.

		Pizarro's small crew was able to topple an army which outnumbered them 500 to one because of the tools, or rather weapons, available to the army.
		The Incans' quilted armor and clubs were little threat to the heavily armored Spaniards wielding steel lances, swords, and daggers.
		Whether a result of ignorance, as demonstrated by the Incans, or arrogance, as was the case with the recording industry, the introduction of a disruptive technology into an existing system can be disastrous to those who value the old ways.

	Incas (by L. Proyect)
		That reality was that the Incan empire had more in common socially and economically with European or Asian advanced societies of the 1400s than it did with, for example, the Indians of the Great Plains.
		The first was the mit'a, which consisted of a specific number of days of labor in the army, in public works projects, or in personal service to the emperor or various officials and agencies of the state.
		The other form of labor taxation involved agricultural or pastoral work in fields appropriated by the royal corporations, the state, or the state cult or in caring for the herds of llamas and alpacas they pastured in the territory of their subjects.

		I found the Incan Empire the most intriguing and interesting because they established and developed so much while being so far away from other developing civilizations.
		The implementation of a rigid, centralized, state controlled government allowed for the Incan leaders to oversee a society that was impressive in territorial size and population and whose achievements are legendary.
		Incan Empire was one that stayed with me. It is noted that they were isolated and not influenced by others but their development were the same as some of the greatest empires of Asia and Africa.
