    Captain Francisco Pizarro formed a partnership in Panama with Diego de Almagro and the priest Hernando de Luque in order to explore the Pacific coast, looking for a Biru tribe that became the name Peru. His first expedition began in November 1524 with eighty men and four horses; but they suffered starvation, and Almagro lost an eye fighting natives. In 1526 they took two ships and captured a balsa raft with rich ornaments of silver and gold. Pizarro kept three captured natives to learn Spanish and be interpreters. The next year only thirteen men stayed with Pizarro on the Isla del Gallo; but in 1528 Pizarro discovered the Inca city of Tumbez. He went to Spain and at Toledo persuaded the Queen to appoint him governor and captain-general of Peru;…

    By capturing Atahualpa at Cajamarca, the conquistadors had essentially defeated the Incas. Without its leader, the rest of the empire fell easily. Pizarro demanded a massive ransom for Atahualpa, consisting of an entire room filled with silver and gold. He then executed him, replacing him with a puppet ruler. Although several rebellion attempts occurred over the next 40 years, all were unsuccessful, and the Spanish finally colonized the region in 1572 as the Viceroyalty of Peru.…

    In chapter 3 Jared Diamond discusses one of the most controversial battles that shifted the new world to what we know today, the Battle of Cajamarca. Diamond states in his book “The biggest population shift of modern times has been the colonization of the new World by Europeans, and the resulting conquest, numerical reduction, or complete disappearance of most groups of Native Americans.” This battle was between the Incas and the Spaniards. Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro led a Spanish army of 168 soldiers; he was going against an army of 80,000 soldiers led by Atahualpa. Pizarro was 1000 miles away from reinforcements, and knew nothing about the local inhabitants. The stakes were all against him. Yet Pizarro was able to win…

    In the 1500s 80,000 Inca were defeated by only 168 Spaniards, but how? The long term effect on the Inca defeat was the Spanish technology compared to the Inca technology. The Spanish conquistadores had developed guns, they also made steel swords where the Inca had only bronze weapons, the Spanish also had developed a written language while the Inca people had never even seen a book. Spain and all the rest of Europe had developed the plow and other farming techniques such as attaching the plow to animals. This use of animals also gave the Spanish an advantage because they soon became immune to livestock born diseases which they brought upon the Inca. All of these advantages gave the Spanish the upper hand in the fight with the Incas.…
