Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'andes mountains'

The Andes Mountains form Earth's longest continental mountain range, stretching approximately 7,000 kilometers along South America's western edge through seven countries. This massive cordillera has shaped regional civilizations including the Inca Empire, creating isolated ecological niches, influencing climate patterns, and providing natural resources that have determined economic development. In alternate history scenarios, the Andes often serve as a geographic barrier affecting military campaigns, cultural diffusion, and the formation of political boundaries.
