Answer:

hope it is use full to you

Explanation:

       The main sources used for this guide are T. O. Lloyd, The British Empire 1558-1983 (Oxford, 1984) and John Stewart, The British Empire: An Encyclopedia of the Crown's Holdings, 1493 through 1995 (London, 1996). I have cross-referenced the information in these two books with a number of other sources to ensure accuracy. For more information, users might consult the following:

The British Empire was composed of the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates, and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom and its predecessor states. It began with the overseas possessions and trading posts established by England between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. At its height it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power.[1] By 1913 the British Empire held sway over 412 million people, 23% of the world population at the time,[2] and by 1925 it covered 35,000,000 km2 (13,500,000 s q mi),[3] 24% of the Earth's total land area. As a result, its constitutional, legal, linguistic, and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, it was described as "the empire on which the sun never sets", as the sun was always shining on at least one of its territories.[4]

During the Age of Discovery in the 15th and 16th centuries, Portugal and Spain pioneered European exploration of the globe, and in the process established large overseas empires. Envious of the great wealth these empires generated,[5] England, France, and the Netherlands began to establish colonies and trade networks of their own in the Americas and Asia. A series of wars in the 17th and 18th centuries with the Netherlands and France left England (Britain, following the 1707 Act of Union with Scotland) the dominant colonial power in North America. Britain became the dominant power in the Indian subcontinent after the East India Company's conquest of Mughal Bengal at the Battle of Plassey in 1757.

Answer:

A.  were confident that their technology would destroy the Incans

Explanation:

The Spanish had a technology that was very superior to the Incan Technology. The Incas had a large empire, but technologically-wise, they were not even in the Bronze Age, since they did not know how to effectively manipulate metals.

The Spanish, on the other hand, had many iron weapons, and some firearms. They also had horses. Finally, they carried diseases for which the Incas did not have any antibodies, which caused the death of most Native Americans, including the Incas.
