Francisco Pizzaro

Francisco Pizarro was a Spainish explorer. He came to the island of Hispanionla in 1502 Pizarro realized the wealth that lied within the lands of Peru and set up two expedtions which both failed. Then in 1528, he returned to Spain and got the consent of the Spainish king that he could be the govener of this new province, and he was given 180 men. Pizarro returned to Peru ready to attack the Inca Empire. Which at the time period was doing throught a time of division. He captured the Emperor of the Inca Atahuallpa and the demanded a large ransom. When the ransom was paid, Pizarro killed Atuhuallpa and Peru was in complete turmoil. Almost everything of the Incas fell to the Spainish. Pizzaro came to rule and founded a city called Lima. He was assinated in 1541 by some Inca rebels.
