Some alternate history.



In a hurricane one day in the early 15th century a small cart in china was washed out to sea. There it floated along the currents until one day it washed up on the coast of Peru in good enough condition that some local people could work out what it was picked up by the inhabitants of a small fishing village. They put it to use for a short while until it wore out, then they made a rough copy to the best of their abilities, then they made some more using people and llamas to draw them. Within a couple of years these carts began to spread and found their way into the hands of the emergent Inca Empire. They put this technology to use to better transport goods and people. Then in some time around the year 1500 someone had the bright idea to use the rough technology for vehicles of war. They built small two wheeled carts of wood and wicker from which their generals could lead and their slingers and archers could use their missile weapons against their foes. When the Conquistadors came, Incan Chariots (and experience in fighting them from the civil war) proved to be invaluable against them and Pizarro was unable to repeat Cortes' conquests further south.
