The Incas couldn't control illegal immigration and looked what the Spanish did to them.

Almost heaven,
West Bolivia,
Andes Mountains,
Pilcomayo River.
Life is old there,
older than the trees,
younger than the mountains,
blowing like a breeze.
Inca roads,
take me home,
to the place,
I belong.
West Bolivia,
pagan mamma,
take me home,
Inca roads.

But no Wheels to roll carts on the roads?

The Appian Way, yes, way,way before the Incas!
the bases needed to be connected by good roads for easy access and supply from Rome. The Appian Way was used as a main route for military supplies since its construction for that purpose in 312 B.C.

His armies depended on living off the land. Didn't work in Russia.

I thought the use of (tin) canned goods came about because of Bonaparte’s armies.
