A Bit About Francisco Pizarro's Explorations

Francisco Pizarro went on several different expeditions. He went on these voyages because he wanted immense fortune and adventure. He went on all of these expeditions by letting the Emperor of Spain, Charles V, get convinced on his plan to promise to establish a new Spanish province in the western side of South America, where the Inca Empire was established. Charles V supplied Pizarro with men and two ships. The first of Francisco's voyages was when he traveled in 1510 to Uraba, Colombia. Then in 1513, he accompanied Vasco Nunez de Balboa where Balboa was the first European to discover the Pacific Ocean. After that, he went on three voyages to conquest the Inca Empire in Peru.
• First voyage (1524-1525), Francisco Pizarro, Diego de Almagro and Fernando de Luque failed to reach the Inca Empire with obstacles on their way, such as starvation and a shower of boulders from natives. They only got to the San Juan River.
• Second voyage (1526-1528), Spanish captured a group of Incas in a raft in Tumbes (North of Peru) and Francisco Pizarro confirmed the existence of the Inca Empire by seeing a civilized city with temples, fortresses and walls. Also, he trained 3 Incas to translate him for his next voyage. 
• Third voyage (1531-1533), Pizarro knew that there was a civil war between the two leader brothers (Atahualpa and Huascar) and an epidemic of smallpox, so Pizarro used these weaknesses to try to conquer Peru. Francisco got to Cajamarca, invited the Inca leader, Atahualpa, to the town square for dinner. There, Pizarro captured Atahualpa, and said that the ransom was a room filled with gold and silver. Atahualpa ordered his men to fill a room with gold and silver, 22 feet by 17 feet, but Pizarro stilled executed him.
As a result of this, Pizarro was able to conquest Cuzco, and the Inca Empire fell apart. Later, he founded the capital city of Lima in 1535, and he became the governor. Later, Diego de Almagro and Pizarro fell out, and with a battle, Almagro got executed by Pizarro's brother. On June 26, 1541, Almagro's family killed Francisco Pizarro.
