In 1532, Francisco Pizarro arrived at Peru. He had only 200 men and 27 horses with him, but on the way, many people joined him, and his group increased in number. When the Spaniards began then to fight against the Inca, they not only brought European sicknesses with them, and more technology, but also many Incas rebelled against their own country. In 1536, Cuzco (the capital city of the Incan empire) was obviously lost and defeated. On August 29, 1553, Atahualpha (the ruler of the Inca) was killed by the Spanish. However, before being killed, he was told that if he accepted to change his culture and become Christian, he'd be treated fairly. Atahualpha desperately agreed, but the Spanish changed their minds, and strangled him anyways. The Inca emperors lasted for another 30 years hidden in the Vilcababa mountain regions, until the last of the Inca rulers was beheaded in 1572. The Inca civilization was destroyed soon after as the Spaniards forced the Inca people to give up their

traditions. The Inca people were then literally worked to death.
