\nManco Inca’s Rebellion<\/strong>

However, the arrival of European reinforcements weakened his offensive.<\/p>\nRetreat to Vilcabamba<\/strong><\/p>\nAfter the defeat at Cusco, Manco Inca established an independent Inca state in Vilcabamba, from where he continued the resistance until his assassination in 1545. His successors, Sayri T\u00fapac, Titu Cusi Yupanqui, and T\u00fapac Amaru I, continued the struggle until the final fall in 1572.
