The Incan civilization lasted from 1200 to 1535 before it was conquered by the Spanish.

Explanation:

The Incan civilization was one of the most developed in the Americas before the Europeans came. It was spread out in the western part of the South American continent and it was the largest empire in the Americas (at least from what is known so far). The Incas managed to create an empire that stretched on the territories of modern-day Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, and smaller parts in Chile, Colombia, and Brazil.

This civilization quickly faced its end after it came in contact with the Europeans. The Spanish were the first Europeans that managed to reach the Incan civilization and seeing how much wealth they had, they did not lose time in conquering them. The Spanish had some advantages in warfare like the guns and horses which helped them to neutralize and conquer the strategically most important Incan cities and captured their ruler, which led to the collapse of the empire and falling under Spanish rule.
