Detailed explanation-1: -The Inca Empire that Pizarro eventually encountered was weakened drastically by the spread of these diseases which also helped lead to a civil war. Arguably, this aided Pizarro’s conquest of the empire because it was in a weakened state and more easily conquerable.
Detailed explanation-2: -On 16 November 1532, Francisco Pizarro, the Spanish explorer and conquistador, springs a trap on the Incan emperor, Atahualpa.
Detailed explanation-3: -After years of preliminary exploration and military skirmishes, 168 Spanish soldiers under conquistador Francisco Pizarro, his brothers, and their indigenous allies captured the Sapa Inca Atahualpa in the 1532 Battle of Cajamarca.
