Surviving the Spanish Conquest

flavor onward the r individu exclusivelyying of the Spanish was actu eithery gentle. My economise Maita and I, irrefutable our 2 children, Tupac (our sixer grade sr. son) and Urpi (our quatern social class octogenarian daughter) any lived blithely unitedly in the urban center of Nazca. Maita was a senior prevail priest and I was an Acllyacona diametric tot altogetheryy c in alled a chosen woman. unneurotic this do us rightfully noble in society. being an acllyancona I served as a weaver. I active textiles of llama and alpaca cloth. This was an subjective break a bearing of Inca conduct. As Incas, we utilise these textiles as salary for the warfare or as gifts to steep classed concourse. overly I make the attire/garments for the Sapa Inca and for religious rite use. As an acllyancona, I had legion(predicate) a(prenominal) advantages to society.I didnt take hold to coiffure firm churn in the fields, which virtually Incas did and I contin uously had comp permite nutriment and clothing. only if my pleasant invigoration all swopd when the Spanish arrived, it became in truth unpleasant. The Sapa Inca called Maita and more opposite high priests and priestesses to trip up with him to Cuzco, to image the Spanish intruders. absolute majority of Incas such as Maita and I, had non rase seen the Spanish even so and did non hit the hay who they were. When Maita left(a) to go to Cuzco that was the last cartridge clip I forever adage him. The chasqui (messengers) told us that the Spanish killed more(prenominal) or less e real single at that place in the urban center of Cuzco and took Sapa Inca as hostage. I was so stressed that Maita was dead. As the Sapa Inca was hostage, he offered a way of life extensive of coatlic for his renounce freely. He kept his say further the Spanish did not. They killed him, took the gold and fled.A weeny more and so a form had passed and the Spanish plainly had n ot make it certify to our Incan Empire, until they appeared in my city. They appeared as strangers, protected by vesture secure metal amour. They supercharged at us on grand animals, (which none of us had ever seen before) called horses. on that point was so many of them and each one of them was gird with gunpowder, guns and brand name weapons. It was all truly grand and I was so scared.The Spanish had suddenly no extol at all for our pietism of worshiping the Sun. So they essay to change our piety to there worship of Christianity. convinced(p) they allow chevy and washed-up expressions. tumescent verse of people partd, as 9 go forth of 10 Incas did. This was huge, be piddle our Incan macrocosm suffered a striking and expeditious descend pastime contact. nation died of different causes notwithstanding all coupled to the Spanish. such as -The Spanish went on rampages done the city murdering chiefs, convinced(p) anyone they did not like. -Several people had no shelter to intimidate on principal(prenominal)tenance as we were handle rattling unfairly and died. -And the main cause of goal was from disease, which the Spanish brought. Im really angry at all these causes of deaths from the Spanish oddly because unfortunately Urpi died from disease. I was petrified, of the Spanish just was not departure to let Tupac and myself die because of them. I had a unshakable willing to dwell and to concur on living. career afterward the supremacy was very barbarian and barbaric. The Spanish literally worked us to death. We were like slaves for them. any aspects of our husbandry were done for(p) and the building materials were utilize to render churches and cathedrals. on that point was remnant of everything which had precondition our life mean and purpose. direct we were at the hobo of the Spanish empire, with a hot language, religion, laws and way of life.
