In 1532, the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro captured Atahualpa — the last emperor of the Inca Empire — in the city of Cajamarca. To buy his freedom, Atahualpa offered one of the greatest ransoms in history: a room filled with gold and two more with silver. But even after the treasure was delivered, betrayal followed. The Spaniards executed the Inca ruler, ending centuries of Incan power and marking the rise of Spanish rule in South America.
