incas would've set former aztec mesoamericans straight and encouraged them to expand as a civilization gaining more governmental territory for the incas, incas weren't big with the whole over-sacrificing of humans compared to aztecs where they built literal fucking temples made of skulls lmao, granted they did do pagan human sacrifice rituals but it was more humane and they drugged the people were to be sacrificed with coca leaves so that they don't feel pain and it was to the same extent as much as celtic druids and viking pagans did, which was nowhere near the amount of obsessive human sacrifice that the aztecs did. i'd imagine they'd probably stop the human sacrifice shit in the modern era if they still existed as a nation just like the church doesn't burn heretics alive anymore. spaniards couldn't actually conquer the mapuches because they were too united and savage in warfare against them, it was written in history books that one of them literally captured a spaniard and ripped out his heart and another story of a mapuche indian revolutionary having his hands cut off by spaniards yet he stuck knives on his arms to continue stabbing spaniards in an ambush lmao, they were a problem for spaniards. i'd imagine the incas would've won against spain if they were more united and didn't have an internal civil war occurring that spain used to their advantage along with disease.   it's a shame you teepee united states indians aren't in high numbers in population anymore in america, seeing one of you guys from a tribe in 2024 is like seeing a roaming unicorn that would serve as a lucky charm by seeing one
