Pizarro's act of taking Atahualpa hostage forced the Inca to do what Pizarro wanted

Explanation:

  • Pizarro 's victory was ideally paced. In 1532, the Inca Kingdom suffered a civil war, in which inhabitants were decimated, and loyalties split. Half-brother Huascar, Atahualpa, was recently forced from control by Atahualpa; and Pizarro, with the help of king Charles V of Spain in 1531, learnt of his battle on the way to the Incan capital, beginning to enlist loyal Huascar troops.  
  • Pizarro met Atahualpa, a little Incan town nested in the Andes valley, just outside Cajamarca. As an ambassador to Cajamarca, Pizarro sent Hernán to Atahualpa, welcoming him to a banquet of honour to mark his entry to the throne. While Atahualpa had nearly 80,000 soldiers on the hills with him, he allowed the festival to only include 5,000 unarmed men. Vicente de Valverde knew him, who was a friar with Pizarro.
  • While Pizarro 's men were waiting, Valverde insisted Atahualpa to convert and to accept the sovereign Charles V. Atahualpa rejected it angrily, forcing Valverde to give Pizarro a signal to open fire. The panicking Incan soldiers, stuck in the vicinity, quickly prey Spain. For around an hour, people from Pizarro murdered five thousand Incans. Pizarro himself sustained the only Spanish injury: his hand was chopped off and Atahualpa was spared from death.  
  • He saw that Atahualpa was more precious than dead. When he was trying to seize his country, Pizarro kept the King in custody. In reaction to the arrogance of his captors, Atahualpa asked for a place full of gold or silver for their liberation. Pizarro accepted, however, after receiving the ransom, Pizarro chargeted Atahualpa for rebellion. At that time, though Pizarro secured its strength, Atahualpas had played a role in the peaceful Incan.
  • The Spanish thought it was a decent end for a republic, but Valverde offered the emperor a last-minute clemency if he were to convert. Atahualpa was to be burned. Atahualpa submitted, but was later executed on 29 August 15333.
  • The competition between the Spanish and Incas went long after the death of Atahualpa, though Spain increased its conquests. However, Pizarro's audacious victory in Cajamarca was the end of the Inca Empire and the start of the South American invasion of Europe.
