One day in 1430 CE, a near by tribe started a war with the Incas. In those times in South America, warring tribes usually killed the losing tribe, and the Incas were losing badly. Viracocha, the Inca ruler, and Pachacuti’s father did not want to die. Pachacuti gathered the Inca army and won the war. Instead of killing the other tribe, Pachacuti allowed them to live.
