In 1525, the eleventh Inca, Huayna Capac, died without naming his successor. Two of his sons, Huascar and Atahualpa fought over who the rightful ruler should be. Their war lasted seven years and it weakened the Incan Empire. Atahualpa was the victor. The conflict ended just as Francisco Pizarro arrived from Spain to conquer the Inca's. The Inca's may not have fallen to the Spanish if they were not already so battle weary and short on soldiers and supplies.
