The Long War: Manco Inca and the Neo-Inca State

After the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire, a new resistance emerged. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the revolt of Manco Inca Yupanqui, the siege of Cusco in 1536, and the establishment of the Neo-Inca State at Vilcabamba. They discuss how Manco Inca, initially a puppet ruler, turned against Francisco Pizarro and his brothers, rallying thousands of Inca warriors in a desperate war. The episode covers the brutal Spanish counterattack, the role of indigenous allies like the Cañari and Chachapoya, and the tragic fate of Manco Inca, assassinated by Spanish renegades. It also delves into the famous Inca fortress of Ollantaytambo, the jungle refuge of Vilcabamba, and the final execution of Túpac Amaru in 1572, marking the end of Inca resistance. Listeners will learn about the complexities of Inca-Spanish warfare, the resilience of Inca culture, and the shadow empire that survived for decades in the Andes. #MancoInca #NeoIncaState #Vilcabamba #SiegeOfCusco #Ollantaytambo #TupacAmaru #FranciscoPizarro #IncaResistance #Conquistadors #Peru #Cusco #Andes #IncaEmpire #SpanishConquest #SouthAmericanHistory #IndigenousResistance #History #FexingoHistory #SpanishEmpire #HernanCortes Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
