I always mix up the Incas and the Aztecs.

I do have difficulties with pre-Columbian central/South American history. A weak point.

THE INCAS WERE VERY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE, LOOK AT THE CITIES THEY BUILT LIKE CUZCO, AND THE ONE IN THE MOUNTAINS. SO PRETTY!THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER WITHOUT THE SPANISH.

The Inkas were the last major civilisation in the Andes, not only modern Perú, but their empire, the Tahuantinsuyo, extended from Colombia to Chile. The Inkas rose to prominence in the early 1400s, conquered many other cultures, and civilisations in Perú go back thousands of years, so the Inkas are only some of the ancestors of native Peruvians, and the best known, but not the only ones...
