Francisco Pizarro conquered the Inca civilization in 1531. He ambushed the Incan ruler, Atahualpa, at a "peace talk", taking him prisoner and demanding a ransom. The Incans gave a fortune in gold and silver for the return of their ruler, but Pizarro took the ransom and executed Atahualpa shortly afterward. Later, he marched to Cuzco unstopped in 1533, thus heralding the end of the Incan Empire.
