Scenarios about 'andes'
The Andes mountain range is the longest continental mountain range in the world, stretching approximately 7,000 kilometers along the western edge of South America. This geographic feature has profoundly shaped the development of pre-Columbian civilizations including the Inca Empire, influenced colonial settlement patterns, and created diverse ecological zones that fostered unique cultural adaptations. In alternate history scenarios, the Andes often serve as a natural boundary affecting the spread of technologies, empires, and cultural influences across South America.
