Explanation
Spanish rule subjected many Inca people to forced labor in mines, including through systems such as the mita. Diseases brought by Europeans spread among the Inca and killed millions. Spanish colonizers also pressured or forced Indigenous people to convert to Christianity. The Inca did not gain the right to vote for their leaders, and Spanish leaders did not preserve Incan culture as their policy.
