Similarities:
Both empires emerged in the 14th and 15th centuries as postclassic civilizations building on the innovations of earlier political powers but expanding to greater extents
Both empires were entirely infantry, but well supplied, well-organized, and extremely aggressive and militaristic. Javelins, slings, spears and maces were used in battle.
Both empires had inherent instabilities
Both empires were fueled by corn.
Both empires have little to no seafaring, and instead stuck to the mountains and valleys in the center of the region.
Both empires conquered hundreds of cities in the region that resented their rule and taxation
Both empires were ended by Spanish invasions that capitalized on native divisions, introduced disease, and Spanish technology of guns, horses, and steel.
Both empires are misnamed-the Inka was the ruler of Tawantinsuyu, and the Aztecs adopted the name Mexica.
Both empires provided public education
Both Atahualpa and Moctezuma decided against confronting the Spanish militarily, allowing for the Spanish to take the Emperors hostage.
Attempts to restore the monarchy came after the capture and death of the emperor, but were too late.
Differences:
The Incas were bronze age, Aztecs were stone age
THe Incas assigned governors and shuffled conquered peoples around. There was a greater centralization than in Mexico
The Aztecs were a tributary empire, not a direct one.
The Aztecs had writing, while the Incas used Quipu
The Aztecs still had many rivals left unsubdued
The Inca used mostly potatoes while corn was far more dominant in Mexico.
The Inca had llamas, small but important livestock that made transport easier
The Inca had a sophisticated courier system of Chasquis along state-maintained roads
The Inca used bronze axes and halberds, with slings and maces as their main weapons alongside spears. The Aztecs used obsidian swords and glaives instead for close combat, and used javelins far more. Likewise, while Inca military relied on the unit’s experience and officer corps for their quality like the Romans, the Aztecs instead had a feudalistic division between the elite knights and commoners, with advancement by taking captives.
The Inca allowed women into their schools but not commoners. The Aztecs prohibited women but allowed for peasant men to also gain an education.
The diseases that destroyed the Incas came before the Spanish actually arrived in Peru, while the Spanish had been in Mexico for months before the plagues killed the emperor and populace.
Moctezuma’s mistake was trying to use generosity to awe the Spanish and try to coax them on his side, while Atahualpa’s was trying to awe them with his army rather than actually using it.
The Inca political crisis was a civil war between two brothers, while the Aztec’s was a three way duel between the King, the Priests, and the Aristocracy and military.
<h3>13. Correct answer choice is:</h3><h2>D. Began violently and remained violent as the natives ruled over the colonists.</h2>
Explanation:
The Southern Colonies relationship with the Native Americans were at conflict when the English established in Jamestown, in 1670. Indians were compelled to transmit half of their estate till the general of the Powhaten Tribe prosecuted a battle between them. The Indians almost cleaned out all of the colonists because of seizures and illnesses from the water, but fortunately Captain John Smith endeavored to trade with the Indians for food and freindship with them. Later further colonists arrived from England, they began to take Indians as slaves. The colonists inslaved more Native Americans than anyone other. The Native Americans were used as menials and had to do work nearby the masters home and had to produce rice and other cash products. All of these bestow the realtionship between the Native Americans.
<h3>14. Correct answer choice is:</h3><h2>D. Based on trade and diplomacy at first, but increased violence as English population grew.
</h2>
Explanation:
By 1640 the British had rooted colonies settled along the New England coast and the Chesapeake Bay. In between were the Dutch and the small Swedish population. To the westward were the aboriginal Americans, the Indians.
Seldom favorable, seldom unfriendly, the Eastern societies were no more immigrants to the Europeans. Although Native Americans profited from passage to new technology and business, the illness and dryness for land which the initial immigrants also began posed a severe difficulty to the Indian's long-established style of living.
The group created by naturalist John Muir in 1892 was <em>Sierra Club</em> Nature Conservancy Audubon Society Habitat for Humanity.
John Muir had co-founded the Sierra Club in 1892 and he was also President of the Environmental Advocacy Organization for more than 20 years.
In the 20th Century,John Muir continued to create history in 1903,when he camped for 3 nights with USA President Theodore Roosevelt and this helped shape the US President's own conservationist policies later on in the coming years.
Because of John Muir's efforts,we have Yosemite National Park,Grand Canyon,King Canyon,Petrified Forest and Mt Rainier National Parks in the form and shape as we know today.
