Seven years before 1532, the eleventh Inca, Huayna Capac, died without naming a successor. Two of his sons, Huascar and Atahualpa, fought over which one should be the next Inca. After a long bloody war, Atahualpa claimed victory. This conflict weakened the Inca Empire just as Francisco Pizarro arrived.
