The Incas declined because the Spanish that invaded their land killed them and used them as slaves, also because since the Incas were not immune to the Spanish diseases they brought, most of them died.
The Spaniards led to the decline of the Inca civilization. The Spaniards took Atahualpa (ruler at the time,) hostage and killed his brother Huascar. Then they installed a new leader Atahualpa's brother, Manco Inca. He eventually passed on the throne to his son Tupac Amaru. When the Spaniards captured and executed him, the Inca's resistance to the Spaniards ended.
The Inca civilization effectively ceased in the early 16th century, following the Spanish conquest led by Francisco Pizarro. The key event marking the end of the Inca Empire was the capture of the last Inca emperor, Atahualpa, in 1532, which led to the rapid decline of Inca political power and the eventual establishment of Spanish colonial rule. By the late 1570s, the Inca Empire was fully integrated into the Spanish Empire.
The Inca Empire was brought to an end by Spanish conquistadors, primarily led by Francisco Pizarro. In 1532, Pizarro captured the Inca emperor Atahualpa, exploiting the empire's internal divisions and diseases brought by Europeans. The subsequent execution of Atahualpa and the Spanish military's superior weaponry led to the rapid decline and eventual collapse of the Inca civilization. By the late 1570s, Spanish control was firmly established over the former Inca territories.

One of the larger factors that lead to the decline of the Aztec and Inca civilizations are people from Europe bringing disease and taking advantage of these people.
The decline of the Inca Empire was primarily due to the arrival of Spanish conquistadors led by Francisco Pizarro in the 16th century. The Inca were vulnerable to Spanish diseases, conquered through military tactics, and weakened by internal divisions that the Spanish exploited. This ultimately led to the fall of the Inca Empire.

One of the larger factors that lead to the decline of the Aztec and Inca civilizations are people from Europe bringing disease and taking advantage of these people.
The decline of the Mayan and Olmec civilizations was primarily due to internal factors such as environmental degradation, social strife, and political fragmentation, leading to a gradual decline over centuries. In contrast, the Aztec and Inca civilizations faced rapid collapse largely due to external pressures, notably Spanish conquest and the introduction of diseases like smallpox, which decimated their populations. While the Maya and Olmec experienced a slow decline, the Aztec and Inca civilizations faced abrupt and violent disruption that led to their swift downfall. Thus, the nature of their declines differed significantly in pace and causes.

The lack of money led to their decline.
The end of the Inca Empire was largely due to the Spanish conquest led by Francisco Pizarro in the early 1530s. Key factors included the internal strife caused by a civil war between rival brothers Atahualpa and Huáscar, which weakened the empire. Additionally, the introduction of European diseases, such as smallpox, devastated the Inca population, further diminishing their ability to resist conquest. Ultimately, the combination of military defeat and social disruption led to the fall of the Inca Empire.
Spain and Cortez
The Inca emperor during Francisco Pizarro's conquest was Atahualpa. He became emperor after a civil war against his half-brother Huáscar and was captured by Pizarro's forces in 1532. Atahualpa was eventually executed by the Spanish, which marked a significant turning point in the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. His death effectively led to the rapid decline of Inca resistance against the Spanish invasion.
