History class- Incas



In Peru in sixteenth century Spanish people killed Incas. In November, 1526, Francisco Pizarro had headed an expedition from the south of Panama and explored the Santa River in Peru. Pizarro found out about the wealth of the Inca’s Empire and came back to Spain to collect money and recruit people for the conquest. In 1530 he arrived in the coastal zone of the Ecuador and began his march towards land in. In November, 1532 he reached the city of Cajamarca, where the Inca Atahualpa was residing in that moment. Pizarro and his men captured Atahualpa being useful of the advantage of the armor that his men were dressing and especially of the horses that were not known in America, what made to the Spanish in advantage with regard to height and protection. After that the men of Pizarro captured Atahualpa, Pizarro imprisoned Atahualpa and asked for a rescue in pieces of gold, enough to fill the room where they enclosed Atahualpa. With the excuse that the Atahualpa’s people delayed the rescue and fearful that the Atahualpa’s people were planning a rescue, Pizarro arranged Atahualpa's execution immediately. After this nothing stopped the Spanish to conquer and destroy all the Inca’s Empire killing and almost eliminating the whole Inca race.
