How José Gabriel Condorcanqui ideas were seen odd
There are two views on Túpac Amaru. Some see him as a great forerunner of the independence movement, others as a reformer. What is certain is that he did not want to rebel against the Spanish King because he was faithful to him. The combination with the Creoles during the fight is considered an indication that he did not want to return to the old Inca structures. Because basically, he agreed with the colonial system as such. It was all about fighting the corrupt functionaries and ending the abuse of corregidores.
His ideas for a new life coexisted strongly with the old Inca structures. He wanted clear hierarchies, a place in the system for every human being. He wished that the good of the individual was beyond the common good, that is, the subordinates should accept their compulsions. Therefore, Túpac Amaru also did not argue for the abolition of Mita, because this form of work has already existed in the Inca

"A rebellion develops where the merger of the rebellion with the ability to do so "while the absence of rebellion" may derive from the lack of will, or alternatively, the lack of opportunity is trying to overturn the government violently. Since the demands Túpac Amarus were not fulfilled, he began to eliminate by force the old system. The execution of the Corregidor Arriaga has ushered in a violent overthrow of existing structures so that it is permissible and right to speak of an (attempted) revolution in the

    Túpac Amaru II, born José Gabriel Condorcanqui, was a highly educated kuraka who claimed to be a direct descendant of the Inca people. Túpac Amaru II sought to create an “Andean utopia through a restoration of Inca rule”, but at the same time he “professed loyalty to Christianity and the Spanish king” (Galindo, 146). As the Indian leader surrounding the city of Cuzco, Túpac Amaru II gathered the leaders of the surrounding regions to “come up with a plan not only to end exorbitant taxation by the Spaniards, but also to drive out the Europeans and restore an Inca monarchy” (Galindo, 146). While Amaru II claimed to be an Inca, his proclamations in the city of Cuzco “call for respect for the property and lives of mixed-bloods (mestizos) and creoles (criollos)”, but other partisan leaders believed that “all non-Indians should be put to death in a kind of ethnic cleansing” (Galindo, 148/149). When the rebellion ended, word of “the massacres of Spanish immigrants, especially those who had lived amongst the Indians, further widened the gap between the colonizers and the colonized” (Galindo, 155) After “Túpac Amaru’s death, the colonial authorities prohibited Inca nobility from using titles, ordered the destruction of paintings of the Incas, and forced the Indians to dress in Western clothes” (Galindo, 155). Despite the efforts put forth during the rebellion to ensure the survival of Andean society, “the rebellion had destabilized hopes for a return to the integration of the Andean population under Spanish rule” (Galindo, 155).…

    He led two unsuccessful expeditions against the Incas. By the time he was ready for the third, a lot of people lost confidence in him. He also had to fight a seven year war with an enemy who had fifty thousand soldiers, when he only had less than two hundred soldiers, and hostile allies. I want to be more determined when I work on homework, and goals. Too often I find myself saying, “I’ll do it later”. I now realize how important determination is in this life.

    At the root of this system of institutionalized violence lay the fear of an indigenous uprising “coming down from the highlands”; the uprising of the early 1980s came closer than any other experience to realizing that great fear” (p.364). During this time, although the genocide had concluded…the ambition of ridding out the communist within the Mayan society was still continuing, especially from 1983-1990s. It was because of this that the Mayas were forced: to serve in the PACS (the self-defense patrol), to live in modern villages under military control, and to be overseen by the militarily administration in a constant effort to establish martial law which was all supervised by the General Victores. It was during this effort that the PACS were forced to kill villagers, the army used the essence of hunger to establish social control, and the ladino army felt it had the rights to control the Maya civilization of the highlands. Therefore… although the genocide itself was concluded…the efforts to control the Mayan society continued until 1990 when the war finally was concluded through the Guatemalan Peace…

A good leader stays committed and brave which Hernan Cortes was throughout all of his wars and battles. Also to be a good leader you must be sly and sneaky which he was when he managed to slip away from Velasquez with part of his followers. Being virtuous isn't bad, it makes a stronger more loyal army.…
