The second empire to fall to the Spanish was the Inca Empire. Conquered by Francisco Pizarro and his forces in the early 1530s, the Inca Empire's downfall was facilitated by internal strife, disease, and superior Spanish weaponry. The capture of the Inca ruler Atahualpa marked a significant turning point, leading to the rapid decline of Inca power and the establishment of Spanish control over the region.
