The Inca Empire, officially the Realm of the Four Parts, was a precolonial state in South America. It relied on a large professional army and an administrative bureaucracy. Despite only having Stone Age means of production, it was able to construct a 40,000-km road system and large monuments such as Machu Picchu.[1] It integrated its agricultural system on a national scale and retained communal elements that enabled a good standard of living for its population.[2]
Inca rule was very unpopular, and the empire easily fell to Spanish invaders in the 16th century.[1] The Spanish soon proved to be much more brutal than the Inca rulers and created a feudal system under a colonial viceroy.[2]
