Contact Between Other Societies

The Incan civilisation had minimal contact between other societies. The majority of interactions the Incas had with other civilisations were usually for expansion and confliction purposes. The Incas frequently went into other territories to negotiate land premises, political alliances and trade. The Incas had built thousands of kilometres of roads made form paved stones, for communities to communicate to each other by runners or ‘chaskis’ who would to relay stations.  Their first contact between the conquering Spaniards introduced new diseases that wiped 90% of the Incan population; consequently, the great civilisation fell to the technological advanced Spaniards.
