Answer:
The correct answer is B. Francisco Pizarro was responsible for the destruction and conquering of the Inca Empire.
Explanation:
Francisco Pizarro was a Spanish conquistador, conqueror of the Inca Empire and founder of the city of Lima - the capital of present-day Peru.
Francisco Pizarro was born in the 1470s in Trujillo, Spain. As a young man, he came to the new world, where, among other things, he served on countless expeditions across the Central American continent in search of Native Americans and quick money. It was on such an expedition in 1513 under the leadership of Vasco Nunez de Balboa that Francisco Pizarro was one of the first Spaniards to ever consider the magnificent nature of the Pacific. His cousin was Hernan Cortes, conqueror of Mexico.
Francisco Pizarro arrived to the Inca Empire, which was facing a civil war, in 1532 with only 180 men. He imprisoned King Atahualpa by persuading him to face the Spaniards unarmed and later killed him despite the ransom he received. The Spaniards succeeded in conquering the entire Inca Empire, for many reasons. The Spanish armaments were superior to the Incas. Atahualpa was not particularly popular in Cusco, where the Spaniards gained additional troops. The provinces were also dissatisfied with the tyrannical Incas and fought for the Spanish. Many Incas had also died of diseases originating in Europe to which the Indians had no resistance. The conquest of the kingdom was relatively easy, and Spanish troops secured further troops from Castile.
