Answer:

Pachacuti

Step-by-step explanation:

The Inca expanded into a great empire under the reign of Pachacuti. Pachacuti created the Inca Empire which the Inca called the Tawantinsuyu. At its height, the Inca Empire had an estimated population of over 10 million people. The Inca were conquered by the Spanish and conquistador Francisco Pizarro in 1533.

Pachacuti was the king of Cusco. He would start the conquests capturing territory to the north around 1493. His son, Tupac Inca Yupanqui, would continue the conquests in 1471, after his father's death. He would conquer the territory to the south.
