The Incan ruler Atahualpa paid the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro a substantial ransom in gold and silver to secure his release after being captured in 1532. The ransom included filling a room with gold and twice that amount in silver, amounting to an estimated value of several million pesos. Despite the payment, Atahualpa was ultimately executed by the Spanish, highlighting the treachery and brutality of the conquest.

The Incan civilization is generally believed to have started in the early 15th century, around 1438, when Pachacuti began expanding the empire. It reached its peak in the early 16th century but began to decline following the Spanish conquest, which began in 1532. The Incan Empire effectively ended in 1572 with the execution of the last Incan ruler, Túpac Amaru.
Atahualpa, the last Incan ruler, reigned during a pivotal time marked by the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. His capture and subsequent execution by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro in 1533 symbolized the collapse of Incan sovereignty and the beginning of Spanish colonial dominance in South America. Atahualpa’s reign highlighted the internal divisions within the empire, as civil war had weakened the Inca state, making it more vulnerable to foreign invasion. His story reflects the dramatic cultural and political shifts that occurred during the European colonization of the Americas.

Atahualpa
Atahualpa is one of the most familiar Incan leaders in my studies. This ruler was significant in that he was one who was taken in by the Spanish explorers putting trust in them therefore putting his people and the empire at risk.
They got it from the Incan ruler
