The first encounter between Francisco Pizarro and his advancing Spanish army and the Inca ruler Atahuallpa took place in Cajamarca, and Jared Diamond addresses it in Guns, Germs, and Steel.

According to Diamonds, the Europeans were the first to have firearms, germs, and steel due to their geographic location and historical background, allowing them to conquer other less advanced civilizations.

The element of surprise was on the side of the Spanish. The Incas had no reason to believe the Spanish would be so treasonous. The Native Americans had no defense against the Spanish's use of European-style weapons like firearms.

The Spaniards start off by ambushing the Incas, discharging their weapons, and emerging on horseback from hiding. The conquistadors attacked the Incas with their swords as they rode because they were trembling and looking rather than holding their ground.

If the Incas had stood their ground against the cavalry, they might have defeated them by sheer numbers if they had more knowledge of this kind of combat.

6. Second President of the United States --- John Adams

Explanation:

1- Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States of America, occupying the position between 1801 and 1809. He is considered one of the Founding Fathers of the nation.

His eminence is given because he was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of 1776. Jefferson was one of the most influential Founding Fathers, known for his promotion of the ideals of republicanism in the United States.

Jefferson was a leader and co-founder with James Madison of the Democratic-Republican Party, which dominated American politics for 25 years. In addition, he was the governor of Virginia during the War of Independence (1779-1781), the first secretary of state (1789-1793) and second vice president of the United States (1797-1801).

2- Alexander Hamilton was an economist, statesman, politician, writer, lawyer, and first secretary of the Treasury of the United States. He was one of the founding fathers of the United States. He was an influential interpreter and promoter of the Constitution of the United States, as well as the founder of the nation's financial system, the Federalist Party, the United States Coast Guard and The New York Post. As the first Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton was the principal author of the economic policies of the George Washington administration.

3- James Madison was an American politician, political theorist, and the fourth president of the United States. He is considered one of the most influential of the "Founding Fathers of the United States" for his contribution to the drafting of the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights, to the extent that he is nicknamed "The Father of the Constitution". Breaking ties with Hamilton and the Federalist Party in 1791, he and Thomas Jefferson organized the Democratic-Republican Party, as a way to counteract the economic policies that Hamilton took as Secretary of the Treasury.

4- John Jay was an American politician and jurist, first president of the Supreme Court of the United States. He served as ambassador in Madrid and London. He negotiated the Jay Treaty with Great Britain in 1794.

5- Thomas Pinckney was an American soldier, politician and diplomat.  In 1795 he was appointed extraordinary envoy to the Madrid court, to negotiate the 1795 Treaty of Madrid with Spain.

6- John Adams was an American statesman and founding father who served as first vice president (1789-1797) and second president of the United States (1797-1801). He was a lawyer, diplomat, political theorist and leader of the movement for the independence of the United States.

7- Edmond-Charles Genet was a French diplomat. As French Ambassador to the United States at the time of the French Revolution, he unleashed a diplomatic and political crisis in 1793 when he tried to influence US policy on neutrality in favor of France.

8- Edmund Randolph was an American lawyer and politician. He was the seventh governor of Virginia, the second secretary of state and the first attorney general of the United States.
