Pizarro And The Incas Research Paper

The unexpected attack surprised the Incas, where the Incas didn’t know they have superior numbers than the Spanish. And there were also other psychological factors, such an Inca god called Viracoxa was a white man, and the Incas thought these men might be the incarnation of Viracoxa.
When the Spanish captured Ataxalpa and killed him, they essentially disintegrated the Inca bureaucracy as the Incas identified Ataxalpa as a godlike absolute monarchy. Also the Spanish has something that the Inca didn’t, firearms, weapons that capable of mass destruction.
Ultimately, I thought, what Pizarro had and the Incas did not, was the knowledge of conquest.
