Queen Isabella did not send Francisco Pizarro on his expeditions; instead, it was King Charles I of Spain, her grandson, who authorized Pizarro's voyages to the New World. Pizarro was sent to explore and conquer Peru, where he ultimately led the expedition that resulted in the fall of the Inca Empire. His conquests began in the early 1530s, significantly expanding Spanish territories in South America.

Well Spain was poor so they sent Pizarro to find new land. The Incas were rich people but very easy to defeat. So Francisco Pizarro went and conquered the Incas for their riches.
Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand
He sent a king named King Ferdinand II of Aragon and a queen named Queen Isabella.
He was sent by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain because Portugal wouldn't send him.
Actually, there was not much convincing to do. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella were eager to send an explorer to the "New World," with the hope he would find riches that could be claimed by Spain; also, the Queen was a fervent Catholic and she hoped the native populations could be converted.

Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand gave Chritopher Columbus money to sail across the ocean to try and find a sea route to Asia from the East. Instead he found El Salvador.
King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella sponsored Columbus because Columbus told them that if they gave him the money to find another trade route to India he would spread Catholicism in India (king and queen of Spain were Catholic)
Queen Isabella gave him 3 ships, enough food for 90 days, and enough men for the job. All the exports were send back to Spain, but the land that Columbus found he was able to govern. LOL
Well, that's a tough subject, friend. Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand established the Spanish Inquisition to investigate and punish those who didn't practice Christianity. It's important to remember that we've come a long way since then, and it's all about spreading love and understanding now.
