Cuzco was chosen as the Inca capital because of its strategic defensive position high in the Andes Mountains, its central location within the Inca Empire, and its proximity to agricultural lands.

The rise and fall of the Inca empires?
We do not have first-hand information from the Inca people about the beginnings of their empire because the Inca did not have a written language. People who study the Inca civilization have pieced together information from different sources. They believe that the Inca people started living in the Cuzco Valley in A.D. 1100. By the early 1400s, the Inca empire still reached only 20 miles beyond the capital city of Cuzco. Rulers Viracocha Inca, and later his son, Pachacuti Inca, increased the size of the Inca empire through conquest. From the 1400s to the early 1500s, the empire grew and developed. After a civil war in the Inca empire, the triumphant ruler Atahualpa agreed to meet with a Spanish explorer named Francisco Pizarro. This was in the year 1532. Instead of the peaceful meeting Atahualpa expected, the Spaniards took him captive. Atahualpa tried to meet the Spaniards' demands for silver and gold, but he was killed in 1533. The Inca army fought the Spaniards but lost the war in 1536. Inca warriors continued to fight the Spaniards. When the last Inca leader was killed in 1572, the Inca empire was officially over. Like the Aztecs, many inhabitants of the Inca empire died as a result of the diseases the explorers unknowingly brought with them. The Spaniards forced the Inca to convert to Christianity.
