In 1531, it was the Spanish who wanted to invade the Inca empire. The expedition consisted of 168 Spanish soldiers under the command of conquistador Francisco Pizarro. Pizarro, as well as the Spanish kings, was interested in conquering the Inca Empire for several reasons. He believed that the Inca had large amounts of resources that the Spanish Empire wanted to profit from. The conquistadors were also interested in converting the indigenous people to Catholicism. The conquest was achieved in 1532.
