Pachakutiq Inca Yupanqui (also commonly Pachakuti and Pachacutec) was the last Inca of the Kingdom of Cusco and the first Inca of Tahuantinsuyu (Inca empire). He led the first round of conquest that led to the establishment of the Inca empire. The conquest began after a rival community attacked and was routed by his army. Pachakutiq then began the era of conquest that would, within three generations, bring most of civilized South America under a single government. In 1463 CE, he put his son Tupac Inca Yupanqui in charge of the Inca army, and began a political reorganization of the Kingdom of Cuzco. This resulted in the liquidation of the Kingdom of Cuzco and the establishment of ''Tahuantinsuyu'' or 'land of four corners'. Under his system, there were four ''apos'' that each controlled one of four provinces. Below these governors were t'oqrikoq, or local leaders, who ran a city, valley, or mine. By the time of the Spanish conquest of Peru, each apo had around 15 t'oqrikoq below him, but we can assume there were fewer when Pachakutiq first organized this system. He also established a separate chain of command for the army and priesthood to establish a system of checks and balances on power. While Pachakutiq was reorganizing the political system, his son ''Tupac Inca'', continued to conquer territiories to the north. By 1471 CE, when Pachakutiq died, Tupac Inca had already reached what is today Ecuador. Despite Pachacuti's poitical and military talents, he did not improve upon the system of choosing the next Inca. His son probably became the next Inca without any dispute, but in future generations the next Inca had to win control of the empire by winning enough support from the apos, priesthood, and military to either win a civil war or intimidate anyone else from trying to wrest control of the empire. == Conquest == In Quechua Pachacutec means earthquake, cataclysm, or he who turns the world upside down. He certainly turned his little hamlet into an empire that could compete with the Chimu, and would eventually incorporate them within the Inca empire.

The map now on the Image:Inca-expansion.png map is more accurate. But that one does not have the other countries on it, so these maps need to be regenerated. (Also I learned that Pachacamac and Cajamarca were added to the empire between 1463 and 1471, the first was a breakaway republic from Chimor that joined the Inca to avoid reprisal from the Chimu, Cajamarca was a powerful city state that was simply no match for the Inca armies.) I'll fix this when I have the time to regenerate the maps... --User:Zenyu 20:58, Dec 19, 2004 (UTC) I believe that Pachacuti is the name of the political party run by Salazar in Cusco as well as the name of the Inca. Probably so few searches would be done for that, there is not point in disambiguation.
