When Atahualpa refused the demands of Francisco Pizarro and his Spanish forces, Pizarro responded by capturing the Inca leader during their initial encounter in 1532. Despite Atahualpa's offer of a room filled with gold and silver for his release, Pizarro executed him in 1533 after a series of conflicts. This act marked a significant turning point in the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire, leading to the eventual downfall of Inca power in the region. Pizarro's ruthless tactics showcased the violent nature of colonial expansion in the Americas.

The rise and fall of the Inca empires?

We do not have first-hand information from the Inca people about the beginnings of their empire because the Inca did not have a written language. People who study the Inca civilization have pieced together information from different sources. They believe that the Inca people started living in the Cuzco Valley in A.D. 1100. By the early 1400s, the Inca empire still reached only 20 miles beyond the capital city of Cuzco. Rulers Viracocha Inca, and later his son, Pachacuti Inca, increased the size of the Inca empire through conquest. From the 1400s to the early 1500s, the empire grew and developed. After a civil war in the Inca empire, the triumphant ruler Atahualpa agreed to meet with a Spanish explorer named Francisco Pizarro. This was in the year 1532. Instead of the peaceful meeting Atahualpa expected, the Spaniards took him captive. Atahualpa tried to meet the Spaniards' demands for silver and gold, but he was killed in 1533. The Inca army fought the Spaniards but lost the war in 1536. Inca warriors continued to fight the Spaniards. When the last Inca leader was killed in 1572, the Inca empire was officially over. Like the Aztecs, many inhabitants of the Inca empire died as a result of the diseases the explorers unknowingly brought with them. The Spaniards forced the Inca to convert to Christianity.

When did Francisco Pizarro first find the incan empire?

1532. In that year, also, he and his forces of less than 200 Spanish men outwitted the complacent Incan emperor, Atahualpa, and his forces of 80,000. Pizarro executed the 12 man honor guard, took Atahualpa forcibly, for ransom. Even when the ransom demands were met - in gold and silver - Atahualpa was executed, nevertheless. And that, my friends, was the rapid and unfortunate end of the magnificent Incan Empire.
