= Kingdom Of Cusco  = ​ The Kingdom Of Cusco was small and located on the Andean Mountain Ranges. This began as a small city state established by the Incas around the 12th century. Under the command of the Sapa Inca leader and Pachacuti world shaker the Incas slowly began to build a massive kingdom with the help of military strength and their emperors. The land that Pachacuti conquered was about the size of the Thirteen Colonies at the time of The American Revolution, including the Andes Mountain Range. ​ Pachacuti reorganized the Kingdom into an empire using Tahuantinsuyu. The Tahuantinsuyu was a [|federalist system] that was made up of a central government with the Inca. Four rural governments with strong leaders, Chinchay, Antisuyu, Kuntisuyu, and Qullasuyu. Pachacuti is thought to have built the citadel of [|Machu Picchu], either as a family home or as a vacation estate. ​ Many of the high ranking nobles were required to live in Cusco. The most important person who lived in Cusco was the emperor or Sapa Inca. He lived in a huge palace with his family and queen. The most important building in Cusco is the Emperors Palace. Coricancha is the most important temple in Cusco. Sacsayhuaman was the site of a major battle with the Spanish in 1536. ​
