Best Answer

In 1525 or 1527, the old ruler of the Incas died, and his two sons, Huascar and Atahualpa, both wanted the throne and fought a bloody war. Atahualpa had just won the war when he was approached by the Spanish under Pizarro in 1532. Through deception, Atahualpa was captured by the Spaniards.
