Several Spanish conquerors (or, 'conquistadores') led Spain's campaigns of conquest in the American regions of Mexico and Peru in the 16th century. Foremost was Hernan Cortes (1485-1547), who was instrumental in the conquest of Mexico, although others would complete the work that he began. In Peru, it was Francisco Pizarro (d. 1541) who led the primary campaign that brought most of the region into Spanish control.
