The Fall of the Inca Empire

The Inca empire expanded in a way similar that the Aztecs did. they would have one of their people to go into the place that they wanted to conquer and would tell the people what they had to do and in what time they had to bring their tribe. The tribe knew that if they refused that the two would go into war and the Incas would win. When the new tribe became apart of the Incas they had to follow all of their religious practices and traditions. Sometimes if the tribe that the Incas wanted to conquer refused, the Incas would then cut off the head of their local leader until they cooperated.
In the 1530s the Incas thought that they ruled the world. But the plague of the smallpox came from up north and began killing a lot of Inca people. Soon after a man named Fransisco Pizarro came to the empire with 160 of his men. The Incas underestimated him and did not think of him as a threat.Actually he was friends with Cortes and was fighting against people in mesoanerica. One day Pizarro invited the Inca ruler to a meeting.He left all of his army behind only bringing 5000 body guards with no weapons. when Pizarro asked/told the Inca ruler to give up his Gods, he laughed in Pizarro's face. Because of this the Inca ruler was captured. the Inca ruler tried to buy his freedom, but when he paid Pizarro he still held him captive.While there he was accused of many crimes like believing in false gods and having too many wives.
