Juan Pizarro

Juan Pizarro was a Spanish conquistador and explorer, born around 1478, known for his role in the early Spanish expeditions in the Americas. He was one of Hernán Cortés's trusted lieutenants during the conquest of the Aztec Empire in the early 16th century. Pizarro contributed to the expansion of Spanish territory and influence in present-day Mexico, often participating in military campaigns and negotiations with indigenous peoples. His efforts helped lay the groundwork for Spanish colonization in the New World, shaping the region's history and development during that era.
