Detailed explanation-1: -On November 16, 1532, Francisco Pizarro, the Spanish explorer and conquistador, springs a trap on the Incan emperor, Atahualpa. With fewer than 200 men against several thousand, Pizarro lures Atahualpa to a feast in the emperor’s honor and then opens fire on the unarmed Incans.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1532, accompanied by his brothers, and 168 Spanish soldiers, Francisco Pizarro overthrew the Inca leader Atahualpa and conquered Peru, which ended the reign of the Inca Empire.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Inca War of Succession began after the emperor Huayna Capac died around 1528 and his two sons both wanted to seize power. Internal instability allowed Francisco Pizarro and his men to find allies within the Inca Empire.
