Pizarro was able to defeat the much larger forces of the Incas primarily due to superior military technology and strategic advantages. The Spanish had firearms, steel weapons, and cavalry, which were unfamiliar and intimidating to the Inca warriors. Additionally, Pizarro exploited internal divisions within the Inca Empire, capitalizing on existing conflicts and capturing key leaders like Atahualpa, which destabilized the Inca forces and morale.
Huáscar Inca (Quechua: Waskar Inka, of uncertain meaning, said to be related to his birthplace Huascarpata; 1503-1532) was Sapa Inca of the Inca empire from 1527 to 1532 AD, succeeding his fatherHuayna Capac and brother Ninan Cuyochi, both of whom died of smallpox while campaigning near Quito.After the conquest, the Spanish put forth the idea that Huayna Capac may have intended Huáscar to be theEmperor, and his half-brother Atahualpa to be the governor of the Quito province. Then Huayna Capac and his initial heir Ninan Cuyochi died prematurely without naming a successor. Without a clear line of succession, a war broke out between Huáscar and his brother Atahualpa.The Chronicler Juan de Betanzos who provides us with most of the information pertaining to the Huáscar-Atahualpa civil war outlines Huáscar's tyranny. This may be a slightly biased account, as Betanzos's wife, on whose testimony much of his chronicle is based was previously married to Atahualpa. Betanzos outlines how Huáscar would seize his lord's wives if they took his fancy. More importantly, he seized both the Lands of the Previous Incas and the Lands of the Sun. In Incan society, the lands of previous dead Incas remained part of their household to support their divine-like cult. Similarly lands were reserved for the worship of the Sun. In this way, Huáscar's seizure represented his disrespect and insensitivity for Inca religion. Huáscar then declared war on Atahualpa. The battles reported by Betanzos talk of Quizquiz (Atahualpa's commander) leading armies of 100,000 men with armies of 60,000 men supporting Huáscar. This demonstrates the numerical potential of Incan armies. Betanzos's account also enlightens us on the bloody nature of Incan wars. Atahualpa's punishment of the Canares saw him rip the hearts from their chiefs and force their followers to eat them, as well as killing babies in the wombs of pregnant women. The war was uncompleted, with Atahualpa in the clear ascendancy on Pizarro's arrival. However it was partly due to the ongoing civil war that Pizarro was able to triumph. Firstly, the Incan armies were depleted from the civil war. Secondly, disunity can be demonstrated by Huáscar's celebrations and in the celebrations of the province of Cuzco (loyalists to Huáscar) at Atahualpa's capture. Furthermore, Atahualpa had Huáscar killed so that he was not in a position to offer Pizarro a larger ransom of gold than Atahualpa was offering for his own release.

Cortez and Pizarro were able to conquer the Incas and Aztecs fairly easily due to several factors. These factors include superior military technology such as firearms, steel weapons, and armor, as well as the strategic use of horses, which were unfamiliar to the indigenous peoples. Additionally, the Spanish benefited from alliances with indigenous groups who were enemies of the Aztecs and Incas, as well as the devastating impact of European diseases like smallpox, which decimated the native populations. The Spanish also exploited internal divisions and political instability within the Aztec and Inca empires to their advantage.
Francisco Pizarro was able to easily defeat the Inca Empire due to a combination of factors, including the element of surprise, superior weaponry, and the impact of disease. The Incas were already weakened by civil war and diseases like smallpox, which had decimated their population and disrupted their society. Additionally, Pizarro's small but well-armed force, along with the strategic use of alliances with rival indigenous groups, allowed him to capitalize on the Inca's vulnerabilities and ultimately conquer the empire.
Because they were in a civil war. The struggle between the brothers Atahualpa and Huascar divide the incas and made them weaker. When Atahualpa allied with Pizarro, they defeated Huascar and when Pizarro betrayed Atahualpa, he conquered the last half of the inca's throne.
