Atahualpa.
The Inca leader who was captured by the Spanish was Atahualpa. He was the last sovereign emperor of the Inca Empire, taken prisoner by Francisco Pizarro and his forces in 1532 during the Spanish conquest of Peru. Despite paying a substantial ransom for his release, Atahualpa was ultimately executed by the Spanish in 1533. His capture marked a significant turning point in the fall of the Inca Empire.
Around 2000 Incas killed, 5000 taken prisoner.
the inca emperator atahualpa told pizzarro that he could fill a room full of gold if.. they left them alone....indeed he did but the brutal criminal instead of reciprocate the agreement took him prisoner and kill atahualpa.
The Inca leader at the time of the European conquest was Atahualpa. He became the last emperor of the Inca Empire, ruling from 1532 until his capture by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro. Atahualpa was initially taken prisoner during a meeting with Pizarro and was later executed, marking the decline of the Inca Empire amidst European colonization. His leadership faced significant challenges as the empire struggled against the invading Spanish forces.
When Montezuma II attempted to calm the Aztec people during the Spanish conquest led by Hernán Cortés, he faced backlash from his own subjects. Many Aztecs viewed him as weak for negotiating with the Spaniards, leading to a loss of confidence in his leadership. Ultimately, this resulted in him being taken captive by the Spaniards, as his own people grew increasingly hostile and rebellious against both him and the foreign invaders.
Atahualpa was taken prisoner by Francisco Pizarro in 1533 (and killed).
Huayna Capac
In the early 1700's Peru had changed from a government that was mostly of the Incan Culture to a government that was taken over by the Spaniards. The people were forced to speak Spanish and forget about their heritage.
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.
