Why did osama bin laden declare a holy war on the united states?

The Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire was one of the most important campaigns in the Spanish colonization of the Americas. After years of preliminary exploration and military skirmishes, 180 Spanish soldiers under conquistador Francisco Pizarro, his brothers, and their native alliescaptured the Sapa Inca Atahualpa in the 1532 Battle of Cajamarca. It was the first step in a long campaign that took decades of fighting but ended in Spanish victory in 1572 and colonization of the region as the Viceroyalty of Peru. The conquest of the Inca Empire (called "Tahuantinsuyu"[1] or "Tawantinsuyu"[2] in Quechua, meaning "Realm of the Four Parts"),[3] led to spin-off campaigns into present-day Chile and Colombia, as well as expeditions towards the Amazon Basin.

When the Spanish arrived at the borders of the Inca Empire in 1528, it spanned a considerable area; by far the largest of the four grand pre-Columbian civilizations. Extending southward from the Ancomayo, which is now known as the Patía River, in southern present-day Colombia to the Maule River in what would later be known as Chile, and eastward from the Pacific Ocean to the edge of the Amazonian jungles, the empire covered some of the most mountainous terrain on Earth. In less than a century, the Inca had expanded their empire from about 400,000 km² (155,000 sq mi) in 1448, to 1,800,000 km² (690,000 sq mi) in 1528, just before the arrival of the Spanish. This vast area of land varied greatly in cultures and in climate. Because of the diverse cultures and geography, the Inca allowed many areas of the empire to be governed under the control of local leaders, who were watched and monitored by Inca officials. However, under the administrative mechanisms established by the Inca, all parts of the empire answered to, and were ultimately under the direct control of, the Emperor.[4] Scholars estimate that the population of the Inca Empire numbered more than 16,000,000.[5]

Some scholars, such as Jared Diamond, believe that while the Spanish conquest was undoubtedly the proximate cause of the collapse of the Inca Empire, it may very well have been past its peak and already in the process of decline. In 1528, Emperor Huayna Capac ruled the Inca Empire. He could trace his lineage back to a "stranger king" named Manco Cápac, the mythical founder of the Inca clan,[6]:144 who according to tradition emerged from a cave in a region called Pacariqtambo.

Huayna Capac was the son of the previous ruler, Túpac Inca, and the grandson of Pachacuti, the Emperor who

Which of these statements would Winston Churchill most likely agree with?

pshichka [43]

The correct answer is Victory must be attained at all costs.

Churchill was arrested and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp in Pretoria, where he fled, walking 500km and insisted on staying in Africa, participating in several battles. This story made him a national hero when he returned in 1900.

He entered parliament in the same year, supported by the conservative party.

He married Clementine, and together they had 5 children.

In 1911, he took over as First Lord of the Admiralty, a highly prestigious position in the British Navy and in this post, during the First World War he was responsible for the disastrous Gallipoli and Dardanelles campaign. Received on the peninsula by well-prepared Ottomans, the offensive resulted in the death of 50,000 British and French. Churchill was fired from his position at the Admiralty.

After the Russian Communist Revolution, Churchill was an active voice against the expansion of communism in Europe.

He lived a political decline in the 1920s and 1930s, experiencing relative political isolation, dedicating himself to reading and writing. Winston is the only British prime minister to receive a Nobel Prize for literature.

From 1933, during Hitler's rise to Germany, Churchill raised his voice against what he considered a serious threat.

He was constantly going public, suggesting English rearmament and preparation for an inevitable conflict. He criticized the government for its passivity in the face of Hitler's demands.

In 1939, England declared war on Germany after the Nazis invaded Poland. At the same moment Churchill takes over the Admiralty again, in the same position he had been years before.

In 1940, in the middle of a German invasion of France, Winston Churchill was appointed Prime Minister. His inaugural speech was simple: "I have nothing to offer, other than blood, suffering, tears and sweat."
