The gold and silver of the Inca was taken to Spain. At first Atahualpa, the last Inca, was kidnapped by Pizarro, and took a ransom consisting of many objects of gold and silver. Later the Spanish sacked the cities and took more gold yet. Much of this gold was accumulated by the Spanish Empire and a small part goes to the soldiers who conquered the Inca Empire.
Both the Inca and the Aztecs were defeated by the Spanish. Horses and guns were able to defeat spears and arrows. The Spanish took the gold, silver, and jewels back to Spain and then forced the natives to farm for them. The Spanish also converted the natives to Christianity.
