1 abr 1532 año - Pizarro Conquers Incas

Descripción:

Francisco Pizzaro, Spanish explorer, conquers the Incan empire, which was already weakened by civil wars and disease. While the Incan empire attempted to trap Pizzaro and kill him, Pizzaro slaughtered the emperor after gaining ransom, while also gaining support from local conflicts to overthrow the Incans. Much like Cortes' conquests in the Aztec Empire, Pizzaro slaughtered many indigenous citizens in order to gain glory for Spain. Furthermore, much like Cortes, Pizzaro's exploration sets a precedent for violent conquests of Spainish conquistadors and European exploration in general towards the New World,
