Which two events weakened the inca empire prior to the spanish conquest? a) civil war and disease b) a devastating earthquake and tidal wave c) decline in trade and an uprising among neighboring people d) drought and famine

Hi there,

The two events that weakened the Inca Empire prior to the Spanish conquest was Civil war and disease.

When the Spanish invaded the Inca Empire, they brought war which was the start of the downfall of the Inca Empire including the Aztecs and Mayans.

Disease was the main reason as to why the empire fell. There was pesticides and other things that was known to carry a lot of the diseases that spread throughout the Inca Empire and killed off the people and their crops as well.

Hope this helped :)

Have a great day

Native Americans after the arrival of the Christopher Columbus and that of the Europeans were referred to as the American Indians. These American Indians formed their tribes on the basis of the area they inhabited and their culture, customs, religion and language.
