there• In 1527 Pizarro made his own exploration
down South America and had wars with the Incas until he captured the Inca king
• Incas wanted their king back • If Pizarro got a room of gold & two times the
amount of silver then he would give back the king

killed the king anyway• He became the new king of Peru (where the
Incas had lived)• After Pizarro’s exploration Spain became the
greatest country in the world• The remaining Incas were converted to

left in Peru • Pizarro is now remembered as a bad man
because he killed innocent people like children and women
