The Inca roads were built for Government and military only.
Spanish took control of the Inca empire
Quechua was the language taught to the people conquered by the Inca Empire. Quechua became the official language of administration and communication within the empire.
The Inca were able to control their empire through subordination and cooperation. They divided and conquered the people living there and then would move them, after conquering, to another place. This was a great form of control when the conquered people didn't have the "home terf" advantage. Each area of land had a local ruler or, curacas, and were allowed to maintain their positions and were given privileges in return for their loyalty to the Inca. Their series of roads and, tambos- or inns- allowed rapid communication and troop movement, thus allowing the Inca empire to be constantly united.
Atahualpa and Huascar fought for control of the Inca empire.
The Incas believed that the lands ruled by a Sapa Inca, the emperor, were considered sacred and connected to the divine. They believed that the Sapa Inca was the son of the sun god and had a divine right to rule over the empire. This belief reinforced the emperor's power and authority in Inca society.

About 12 million people lived in the Inca Empire. To rule this vast empire, the Incas formed a strong central government. The Incas didn't want conquered peoples to have too much power. So to prevent this, they made the leaders of conquered areas move out of their villages. Then they brought in new leaders. These leaders were loyal to the Inca government. The Inca government controlled the economy. Incas 'paid' their government in labor, instead of paying taxes. This labor tax system was called the mita. Under the mita, the Inca government told each household what work they had to do.
The Incas had a monarchy as their type of government. They were ruled by an emperor called the Sapa Inca, who believed to be the descendant of the Sun.
The roads built by the Inca empire were primarily used by the Inca people and their armies for transportation, communication, and trade. These roads were also used by other indigenous groups, messengers, and traders. After the Spanish conquest, the roads were used by the Spanish colonizers and later by indigenous and mestizo populations during the colonial period.
