What 2 continents would you find Maya Inca and Aztec civilization?
The Inca civilization was in South America along the western edge. Pizarro defeated it after promising friendship and attacking. He held the emperor Atahualpa hostage and demanded ransom for his release. When he had enough money, he killed the emperor anyway. The Aztec civilization was in Mexico (North America). They settled where a eagle preyed on a snake. They sacrificed humans to their god to give him energy (crazy). The Maya lived in North america also, just above the Aztecs.

What type of government did the Incas have?
I believe the Inca's government was a monarchy... the Emperor (or Sapa Inca) ruled the empire with the help of the Apus. The Apus lived in Cuzco and reported to the Sapa Inca. Other then that it was sorta like a pyramid, First the Sapa Inca, then the Apus, next the Local governors (They reported to the Apus inca).

How did the incan civil war affect the Spanish outcome in Peru?
The Incan civil war made it easier for Pizzaro to conquer the Incans. Atahualpa had fought with his older half-brother Huascar and executed him. So he felt very strong and unthreatened when he and 80 Inca lords entered Pizzaro's camp with 169 men and 60 horses. Atahualpa should have stayed with his army of 80,000 men.

What are the translation of the Inca Heirogliphics into the American language?
The Incas never developed any kind of writing system for their language (Quechua) - certainly nothing that could be called hieroglyphs.
Their only means of keeping records was by means of coloured cords of different length tied together and knotted at specific places to record numeric values indicating numbers of animals, quantities of produce and similar items. These knotted chords were known as quipu - around 200 examples survive today, but in most cases their meaning is lost.
Some people have suggested that the animal and human figures woven into Inca textiles suggest a kind of writing, but there is no clear evidence for this.
Did spain conquer the incas and the aztecs for their gold?
Mainly for wealth, but also for power and land.
When the Spanish explorers in the New World discovered that the two main advanced American Native civilizations, the Incas and the Aztecs, coveted gold and silver as did European nations, Spanish conquistadors did their best to steal and mine for these precious metals. The Aztecs were conquered and the same thing for the Incas. Spain also established colonies to add more territory under their control as they sought to be the major power in Europe and the New World.
How did the spanish treated the Inca empire?
The Spanish didn't give them a choice. The Incan empire went a powerful nation to ordinary servants. Lives were changed rapidly. Their land was taken, their food was eaten, and their gold was stolen. During the Spanish domination a huge number of Incas died from disease that the Spaniards had brought over. The Incas who survived were sent to work in the many silver and gold mines run by the Spanish.

How did the conquistadors justify their conquest of the Aztec and Inca empires?
Gold, God, and Country. The first explorers came to the Americas in search for a faster route to Asia. On their journey they found a previously unknown part of the world and with it, an unknown people and culture. When the conquistadors entered into the great cities of these awesome empires (firstly Tenochtitlan, the capital city of the Aztec empire) they encountered a fortune in gold and new crops that they could take with them back to Europe. Some examples of these new foods included corn, avocados, chilies, vanilla, yams, chewing gum, and chocolate.
They also believed it to be their Christian duty to convert the polytheistic natives to their monotheistic Catholic ways.
Lastly, conquering the majority of the western hemisphere in the name of Spain ( and Portugal in the case of Brazil) was a smart strategic move that could gain them land, power, and more money.
