Abstract
In this chapter, we look at changes in the lives and societies of the people in the Andes region through the lens of resilience. Specifically, we will study the following historical events to understand how various aspects of resilience develop, change, and endure in a specific region: disaster resilience in the ancient Andean civilisation; redistribution system as a form of social resilience supporting the prosperity of the Inca Empire; the destruction of the Inca Empire following its encounter with the Europeans; and the Spanish colonisation and its effects on the indigenous people.
