The Inca Empire largely fell due to a combination of internal strife, Spanish conquest, and the impact of diseases brought by Europeans. The arrival of Spanish conquistadors, particularly Francisco Pizarro in the 1530s, led to violent conflicts and the capture of the Inca emperor Atahualpa. Additionally, the introduction of diseases like smallpox decimated the Indigenous population, weakening their social structure and ability to resist conquest. These factors collectively contributed to the decline and eventual collapse of the Inca civilization.
The Inca Empire was conquered by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro in the 1530s. Pizarro and his men took advantage of internal strife within the empire, particularly the civil war between heirs of the Inca ruler Atahualpa. After capturing Atahualpa and executing him, the Spanish forces systematically dismantled Inca power, leading to the collapse of the empire. The conquest was facilitated by superior weaponry, alliances with rival indigenous groups, and the spread of diseases like smallpox, which devastated the Inca population.

Smallpox played a critical role in Pizarro's conquest of the Inca by severely weakening the indigenous population before the Spanish arrived. The disease spread rapidly among the Incas, who had no immunity to it, leading to widespread death and societal disruption. This decimation of the Inca population not only reduced their military strength but also created political instability, making it easier for Pizarro and his forces to conquer the empire. As a result, smallpox significantly facilitated the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire.
