Francisco Pizarro created a dark reality for the Incan race when he killed as many Peruvian natives as he could during his conquest in South America. In the sixteenth century Pizarro confidently conquered the Incan empire. He took control of it by murdering its emperor, Atahualpa. The empire of the Incans expanded from all corners of Peru.

Pizarro gave his advice, and the army returned to the realest fight thus far. Previous to this event, the natives were wiped out by the Spaniards with barely any effort. In this battle though, the Incans brought their own fire, and the two sides battled for five months until Manco’s men were defeated by Hernando’s. This was the last battle.
