WI Tupca Amaru II succeeds

What happens if his indigenous uprising against the Spanish succeeds? The Incan elites were all educated to be Spaniards at this point. Do they create a hybrid Andean/Spanish civilization and rebuilt the Incan Empire?

At some point, Tupac's people will need to hook up with another European nation--even if they have to pirate a Spanish ship and sail it through Polynesia to reach the Dutch in the East Indies. Or conquer the La Plata. If Tupac's Incas do reach Great Britain or the Netherlands, they might well become Protestants.
 
The rebellion was too disorganized- the peasants were insisting on killing all Spaniards, which alienated the criollos.
 
Like the Tsar said. IMO If he could have been more organized, made some strategic alliances with sympathetic or opportunistic Criollos, and also coordinated with another indigenous rebellion in what would become Bolivia, Tupac II might have been able to pull it off.

It could be funny if the British threw some support behind it since it coincides with the ARW. Give the Spanish a taste of their own medicine.
