Paragraph 1
On the year 1532, the Inca Empire was embroiled in a Civil War, and their population was divided into two parts. Knowing this, Francisco Pizarro tried to take advantage of the situation and led his troops into Inca territory to ambush the natives. The Spanish only had 128 soldier with them, but used their advanced technology to intimidate the Incas. Meanwhile, their opponent's army consisted of around 7,000 soldiers.

Paragraph 2
Body 2
The Spaniards ignore the Incan's claims of bringing news from God. Pizarro’s men massacre the Incans and capture Atahualpa, forcing him to convert to Christianity before eventually killing him.
A Broken Promise
Francisco Pizarro agreed to release Atahualpa, but while the Inca were paying an enormous ransom for their king, Pizarro broke his promise and killed the Inca king.
A Broken Promise
Paragraph 3
Body 3
By the time the massacre was over, not a single Spaniard was seriously injured, while over 7,000 Inca were killed. With this slaughter, the Spanish killed one of the most advanced civilizations in the Americas.
Conclusion
In the end, the Inca Empire was completely destroyed. This is a good reminder that not everything is as it seems. The Inca had the Spaniards outnumbered tremendously, but they were not able to defeat their enemies.
