aryan field trip
as much as pizzaro was based, conquering the incas wasn't nearly as difficult as it seems
since it had been in decline for centuries prior
the incas were quite powerful
and were able to field a large organized army
they were, but prior to Pizzaro's arrival they were in decline
also a mountain people
that could travel rapidly through the mountains
Didn't Pizzaro cause a huge civil war when he held the emperor hostage
because all of his sons claimed succession
it might have been with the aztecs I don't remember completely
168 vs 100,000
pretty crazy odds
over 7 mil deaths
remember europeans had nearly every advantage against them apart from armour and cavalry
most disease obv.
obviously the europeans had an advantage
not really
but the natives almost overpowered them
literally surrounded, and saved by sheer genius alone
yeah these dudes were trekking around with a couple buddies and royal observers lmao
the europeans still had many advantages
literally aryan field trips
and used them fully
and the aztecs were very good for a Mesomerican civilization in combat
they were using matchlock muskets in the age of pike and shot combat
let us also not forget the portugese who sailed around to asia with three boats and conquered dozens of highly fortified cities
yeah lmao they got a foothold in india
at their height
iberians really fell behind tho
yeah
in the 19th century
alburquerque was mad
white people win every matchup
he basically subdued half of india
or, at least started the conquests
pulled lots of crazy maneuvers
