Pizarro was the first Spanish explorer to reach Peru and conquer the Inca Empire.
In 1532, Spanish explorer Francisco Pizarro invaded Peru and conquered the Inca Empire. Pizarro took advantage of the internal strife within the Inca civilization, particularly the civil war between Atahualpa and Huáscar. After capturing Atahualpa, Pizarro demanded a ransom and eventually executed him, leading to the Spanish takeover of Inca territories. This conquest marked a significant expansion of Spanish influence in South America.

Francisco Pizarro was a Spanish conquistador who led the expedition that conquered the Inca Empire in what is now Peru. He founded the city of Lima, which became the capital of the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru. Pizarro's conquest of the Inca Empire was brutal and resulted in the downfall of the Inca civilization.
He was born ca.1478 and died in 1541. He conquered the Inca empire in Peru. He set up an Inca puppet monarchy at Cuzco in 1535.
The Spanish conquered the Incas and Peru because Peru had a lot of gold and silver and the Spanish wanted it. They did not go into the jungle where the people just have the clothes on their backs. They followed the gold.
