Inca Empire
Inca Empire appears on the map from 1440 to 1533. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1497, it covered about 2.10 million km².
One of the realms of Inca Empire (Tawantinsuyu). The Inca were a small kingdom around Cusco in the Peruvian highlands, traditionally founded by Manco Cápac around 1200. In 1438 Pachacuti repelled an attack by the rival Chanka and began a series of conquests that his son Topa Inca and grandson Huayna Capac continued, creating Tawantinsuyu, the Land of the Four Quarters, the largest empire in the pre-Columbian Americas.
