• A civil war began in the Inca Empire between the two sons of the king, Atahualpa and Huáscar.
• Atahualpa eventually won the war, but he was captured by the Spanish soon after.
The Fall of the Incas • Although Atahualpa had won the war, the
infighting had weakened the empire.
• A group of conquistadors led by Francisco Pizarro arrived in the empire.
• When Atahualpa came to meet the Spanish, they attacked and captured him. • The Incas tried to free Atahualpa by offering the
Spanish a roomful of gold and silver, but the Spanish killed Atahualpa anyway.
