The Spanish troops, led by Francisco Pizarro, were able to conquer the Inca capital of Cusco in 1533 largely due to the civil war between rival Inca factions, specifically the conflict between Atahualpa and Huáscar. This internal strife weakened the Inca Empire, making it more vulnerable to external conquest. Additionally, the Spanish exploited advanced weaponry and tactics, along with the impact of diseases like smallpox, which had decimated the Inca population prior to their arrival.
