The Inca Empire dominates pre-Columbian America, and possibly the entire world, as the largest empire around the early 16th century. Cusco in modern-day Peru serves as the administrative, political and military hub of this vast empire. The Inca civilization emerges from the highlands of Peru sometime in the early 13th century. Spanish forces finally conquer its last stronghold in 1572.
