During the 1400s, the Spanish Empire began its expansion with Columbus's voyages in 1492, leading to the colonization of vast territories in the Americas. By the 1700s, the empire had grown significantly, encompassing much of Central and South America, parts of the Caribbean, and territories in North America, establishing a vast colonial network. This period also saw the rise of Spanish power in Europe, marked by the Habsburg dynasty's influence, while the empire faced challenges from rival powers and internal issues, setting the stage for its eventual decline.

In the 1400s, the largest empire was the Mongol Empire, which, at its height in the 13th century, stretched across much of Asia and into parts of Europe and the Middle East. However, by the 1400s, the empire had fragmented into several smaller khanates. The Ottoman Empire was also on the rise during this period, expanding its territory significantly in the late 14th and early 15th centuries.

Machu Picchu was likely occupied for about 100 years, primarily during the height of the Inca Empire in the 15th and early 16th centuries. It is believed to have been built in the mid-1400s and was abandoned in the early 1500s, around the time of the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. Its remote location helped preserve it from the Spanish, and it remained largely forgotten until its rediscovery in the early 20th century.
