The leader of the Inca Empire before their conquest by the Spanish was Atahualpa. He became the emperor in 1532, shortly before the arrival of Spanish conquistadors led by Francisco Pizarro. Atahualpa was captured by Pizarro's forces and executed in 1533, marking a significant turning point in the fall of the Inca Empire. His leadership was characterized by internal strife and civil war, which weakened the empire prior to the Spanish invasion.
Atahupla was the Inca emperor that Pizarro captured.
The Inca Empire lasted just over 100 years. It began in the early 13th century CE in Peru's highlands, around 1438. Spanish conquistadors reached Inca territory by 1526 and for the next seven years, warfare between the Spanish and the Incas raged on. The last Sapa Inca (emperor), Atahualpa, was captured and executed in 1533. The last Inca stronghold at Vilcabamba was conquered in 1572.
Atahualpa, Atahuallpa, Atabalipa, or Atawallpa (March 20, 1497 Quito - Cajamarca, August 29, 1533), was the last Sapa Inca or sovereign emperor of the Tahuantinsuyu, or the Inca Empire. He became emperor upon defeating his older half-brother Huáscar in a civil war sparked by the death of their father, Inca Huayna Capac, from an infectious disease thought to be smallpox. During the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire, the Spaniard Francisco Pizarro crossed his path, captured Atahualpa, and used him to control the Inca empire. Eventually, the Spanish executed Atahualpa by garrote, ending the Inca Empire (although several successors claimed the title ofSapa Inca("unique Inca") and led a resistance against the invading Spaniards).
On 15 May 1867, Maximilian was captured and on 19 June he was executed.

His leadership came to a tragic end when he was captured and executed by Spanish conquistadors led by Francisco Pizarro in 1533.
In 1530, Francisco Pizarro and a small army captured the Inca emperor, Atahualpa(at tah HWAHL pah). By inviting Atahualpa to a meeting, Pizarro managed to attack them. The Incas gave Pizarro a room filled with gold and silver in exchange for their ruler's freedom, but he did not let Atahualpa go. Instead, they executed him and took over. By 1533, Pizarro had also captured the Inca's capital, Cuzco.
