The Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire was one of the most important campaigns in the Spanish colonization of the Americas. After years of preliminary exploration and military skirmishes, 180 Spanish soldiers under conquistador Francisco Pizarro, his brothers, and their native allies captured the Sapa Inca Atahualpa in the 1532 Battle of Cajamarca.
It was the first step in a long campaign that took decades of fighting
but ended in Spanish victory in 1572 and colonization of the region as
the Viceroyalty of Peru.
The conquest of the Inca Empire led to spin-off campaigns into
present-day Chile and Colombia, as well as expeditions towards the
Amazon Basin. When the Spanish arrived at the borders of the Inca Empire in 1528,
it spanned a considerable area; by far the largest of the four grand
pre-Columbian civilizations. Extending southward from the Ancomayo,
which is now known as the Patía River, in southern present-day Colombia to the Maule River
in what would later be known as Chile, and eastward from the Pacific
Ocean to the edge of the Amazonian jungles, the empire covered some of
the most mountainous terrain on Earth. In less than a century, the Inca
had expanded their empire from about 400,000 km² (155,000 sq mi) in
1448, to 1,800,000 km² (690,000 sq mi) in 1528, just before the arrival
of the Spanish. This vast area of land varied greatly in cultures and in
climate. Because of the diverse cultures and geography, the Inca
allowed many areas of the empire to be governed under the control of
local leaders, who were watched and monitored by Inca officials.
However, under the administrative mechanisms established by the Inca,
all parts of the empire answered to, and were ultimately under the
direct control of, the Emperor.[1] Scholars estimate that the population of the Inca Empire numbered more than 16,000,000.

Explanation:
<span>Religion is central to Equiano's life and construction of identity. He explains what his African brethren believed, but came to embrace the idea of the Christian God after hearing about that faith while still a youth. Until he was converted, he believed that good works were most important, and so he was diligent in keeping the Commandments, only really failing to avoiding blasphemy. This God watched over mankind, and Equiano believed the the good things that happened to him were God's praise, while the bad things were rebukes to be learned from. Equiano spoke often of being favored by Providence. He also called himself a predestinarian, explaining that he believed that his life's course was already ordained, and so it was his responsibility to accept this. After a deadly and dangerous voyage to the North Pole, Equiano feels convicted and searches for faith on a deeper level. He eventually embraces Methodism and the idea of the free gift of salvation as central to the Christian message. This faith shapes and molds his life from then on. He has difficulty working with men who are irreligious, and makes ardent efforts to convert men who were not Christian. His religion allows him to enter into the European culture and establish his credentials for his readers. In essence, he makes himself more familiar and less 'other' by his embrace of Christianity. Thus, his religion is deep and personal, but it is also a way for him to become part of the cultural mainstream and more effectively disseminate his abolitionist views.</span>
