Answer:

Division of power at various levels

Step-by-step explanation:

The strategy the Inca used to able to oversee an empire that stretched for thousands of miles is "division of power at various levels."

While the mode of government is a monarchy, there are various positions under the emperor or king.

The king which was referred to as Sàpa Incan has the likes of viceroy, high priest, governors of a quarter, the council of the realm, inspectors, military generals, and other official to govern each domain or level of government. .

The empire was also divided into four known as Súyu; Chiñchay Súyu, Antî Súyu, Qúlla Súyu, and Kûnti Súyu. Each Súyu was divided into Wàmani. Each Wàmani was also divided into smaller groups headed by the empire officials.
