Pizarro

Pizarro was a Spanish conquistador best known for leading the conquest of the Incan Empire in the early 16th century. Born in 1476, he traveled to South America and, in 1532, captured the Incan emperor Atahualpa, which allowed him to quickly take control of the vast and wealthy empire. Pizarro's actions significantly impacted indigenous populations and contributed to Spain's expansion in the New World. His military strategies, alliances, and use of advanced weaponry played key roles in his success, but his methods are often viewed as ruthless and controversial due to their brutality.
