On November 16, 1532,
Which explorer encountered and overthrew the Incas?
Pizarro was to conquer the southern territory and establish a new Spanish province there. In 1532, accompanied by his brothers, Pizarro overthrew the Inca leader Atahualpa and conquered Peru.
Why did Francisco Pizarro conquer the Incas?
Atahualpa wanted to save his own life and regain his freedom, while Pizarro was desperate to get his hands on the Inca treasure and gain glory. Both had very different interests, but really they complemented one another. They needed one another."
