For the project involving empires, I very much liked how we were able to chose our starting point and then make our advancements. The starting point of course had to realistic and therefore just because it was close to where you wanted to take over, didn’t mean that that’s where one could start. For our group, we decided that the most profitable and simple place to take over would be South America. The reason being that by doing this we would have one strong and swift attack on the capital where the central government is, and by destroying this we would be able to cause chaos and distress among the Incans. At a time when there is chaos is a calm and reasonable plan comes into place it usually is accepted and this is what we will do. We would place ourselves as head of the empire, installing lesser governors for smaller regions. The old empire, to keep peace, would be a co-emperor even though in reality his job would be quite small.
Our empire would be similar to the ottomans because we both started out as harsh warriors and then created a prosperous and semi-peaceful kingdom. Also similar to the ottomans is the fact that we have very diverse terrain. From the high and dry Andes to the lush and bountiful rain forest there is all types of land.
We are similar to the moguls in that both of us are governing people with different religions from us. However, instead of oppressing the, we will encourage them. We are different in that we adopt the religion as our own and help build many temples worshiping Incan gods.
The Aztecs are similar to us because we both started out on islands, but then through our negotiations, warfare, and marriages we were able to establish an immense empire.
Contrary to the Ming’s centralized government, we will have a capital but governors with province capitals in each of the provinces. Similar to them however is our way of exploring. We will try to reach and discover new lands; we unlike the Ming will try to take it over since our empire is only expanding. A lot of money and resources will be given to expeditions going into unknown territories.
We are not at all similar to the Safavids because no religion will be imposed on our people because this will in the end create immense political unrest and contradict our plans to pacify the Incan people. Our take-over of the Incans will try to be not a huge change for the people, but just a huge change for us in that we get lots more money.
