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.

She was loved by millions and also hated by many people. Commoners, the poor & working class Argentines were usually the ones who loved her. Those who hated her tended to be from the upper classes where they looked down on her humble origins as the daughter of a man's mistress. After her father died, she, her mother and her siblings were left poor and shunned. When she reached sexual maturity, Eva had a string of relationships with increasingly powerful and influential men as her way of improving her lot in life. Many saw this as immoral and scandalous. Others looked, and look, at this behavior more sympathetically or even with admiration: They see a poor, downtrodden woman with the courage, smarts and looks to be able to improve her lot as well as the lot of many common Argentines in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
