The fall of the Inca and Aztec empires were related. How, you may ask? The Spanish.
When the Inca empire ended, it was because of the Spanish. The Spanish were in search of a mythical land full of gold and treasures. They found the Inca empire. The Inca emporor thought that the leader of the Spanish, Cortez, was a god because legend foretold of a white god with a white beard coming in the future.. The Spanish were invited into the empire, and treated with great care.
Once Cortez gained the emperors trust, he proclaimed that he was going to take over the empire. The people did not want this, they started to revolt. When this happened, Cortez kidnapped the emperor and held him for ransom. The Inca people paid a high price. This was not enouugh. Cortez wanted more. He proclaimed war, and the emporor was killed.
Nobody knows exactly hoe the Aztec empire ended, but some believe that it was because of the Spanish. The Aztec empire ended around the same time that the Spanish showed up in their place. But since there was no sign of a war, nobody know for sure.
