Atahualpa: Last of the Incas
Francisco Pizarro was born three or four different times in the 1470’s -- or, that is to say, there are conflicting accounts as to his precise year of birth.
Then in 1524 Pizarro received a command of his own. He was to investigate unconfirmed reports that to the south there lay a vast empire and an abundance of gold to be had. Evidence of both Incas and gold were found, after which the expedition returned with the music-to-the-ears news that the king of Spain was longing to hear. Consequently, more men and provisions were supplied, and two years later Francisco Pizarro, with a larger force, made a return trip by sea and went further inland than before.

Atahualpa: Last of the Incas
The Last Inca Emperor
On his first expedition with Balboa in 1509, Francisco Pizarro served as first mate. The mission was to explore what is now Panama, where Pizarro played an important part in founding Panama City as well as playing, for him, an important part in accumulating his own personal wealth.
This expedition, too, ran out of steam, and Pizarro returned to Panama to regroup. Then in 1532 he returned with a yet larger army, numbering almost 200 men and several dozen horses, and made his way toward the Inca capital, where Atahualpa, the Inca ruler, consented to meet him. The empire had been weakened by years of civil war between Atahualpa and his half-brother Huascar,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Atahualpa did not feel the conquistadors’ small force posed any sort of threat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], since he had an army of 80,000 soldiers a stone's throw away at his disposal. However, at the agreed-upon meeting point, a perplexed and dazed ("Eh? What's going on? Unhand me!") Atahualpa was captured and taken hostage while his unarmed imperial guards were brutally slaughtered. The ransom was set at a room full of gold and two of silver.
The ransom was then paid, which was the cue for the customary conquistador killing of the hostage. Atahualpa never stood a chance. The army was crippled without the leadership of the Inca ruler and actually retreated. The conquistadors succeeded in burning the Inca capital, after which the rest of the empire was slowly but surely plundered and subdued. Spanish reinforcements, armor, horses, swords, guns, European diseases and no-quarter-given tactics proved too much for the Incas.
