Answer 1

The Spanish defeated the Inca after a series of battles and conquests. They captured the Inca ruler, Atahualpa, and eventually conquered the entire empire. The Spanish took control of the territory, enslaved the Inca people, destroyed their temples and cities, and exploited their resources for their own gain. The Inca Empire effectively ceased to exist as an independent entity after the Spanish arrival.
