pizzaro killed the incan empire king for their money and gold so bsically their riches
Franscisco Pizzaro.
He took atahualpa prisoner just before he conquered the incan empire, and after atahualpa left ruling the emire because pizzaro "stole" him, the incan empire crashed down and was ancient history.!
Pizzaro destroyed the Incan empire. i remember it like this "the inca's ordered pizza but instead they got Pizzaro"
He wasn't trying to explore, he wanted to conquer the Incan empire
Francisco Pizzaro was a Spanish conquistador. Raised in Spain, he was poor. When he heard of Cortes's success in conquering the Aztecs, an older Francisco Pizzaro went and conquered the Incan empire, which is now modern day Peru. He became very rich. He captured the Incan ruler, Atahualpa and demanded ransom for him. The Incans paid it. Pizzaro had superior weapons and the Inca were weakened bu European diseases. Thus, letting Pizzaro conquer them. Later, Pizarro was killed by a rival Spanish faction a few years later after he established the city of Lima.
The Incan civilization was ultimately brought to an end by the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro. Pizarro and his forces captured the Incan emperor Atahualpa in 1532, leading to the downfall of the Incan Empire.
Francisco Pizzaro valued power, wealth, and control. He was driven by ambitions to conquer territories, amass riches, and establish his authority in the New World through his conquests in South America, particularly the Incan Empire.
Fransisco Pizarro claimed the majority of South America for Spain. He conquered the Incan Empire in doing so
The Incan civil war made it easier for Pizzaro to conquer the Incans. Atahualpa had fought with his older half-brother Huascar and executed him. So he felt very strong and unthreatened when he and 80 Inca lords entered Pizzaro's camp with 169 men and 60 horses. Atahualpa should have stayed with his army of 80,000 men.
The last Incan king in Peru was Atahualpa.
i think it was moctezuma or hernan Cortes
Francisco Pizarro, with Spanish forces, used superior weaponry, military tactics, and alliances with indigenous groups to defeat the Inca Empire in the 16th century. Pizarro captured the Incan emperor Atahualpa, looted Incan treasures, and took advantage of internal Incan divisions to dismantle their empire.
