Summary |
"After Hernan Cortes destroyed the Aztec empire of Mexico, Francisco Pizarro marched on the Incas of Peru and won, filling the treasury of Spain. This program describes Pizarro's ruthless attack on the Inca empire amidst the aftermath of the civil war between the Inca ruler, Atahualpa, and his defeated brother Huascar. Also discussed is the rivalry between Pizarro and Diego de Almagro, the ransoming and subsequent execution of Atahualpa, and the Spanish occupation of the Inca capital, Cuzco"--Container. |
