I am doing a research paper on the Incas and I'm trying to make a point that the Incas were powerful because they had lots of gold and emeralds. But how exactly does having gold make you a strong empire? I wasn't sure if the Incas traded it or used it to gain control of areas. Please help me brainstorm ideas on why it would make them strong or how they used their gold and if possible list sources so i can look them up and cite them in my paper.
