Short Term Effects

Effects on Explorer and Nation

The effects on Pizarro were almost convinient. Pizarro made a lot of money on the silver mines he took from the Inca. However, his death was a very tragic one. He was murdered by Diego Almagro II in 1541 in the city of Lima. He was the son of the person Pizarro killed during the Battle of Las Salinas. After he won, he left Las Salinas practically bankrupt.

The Indigenous Population

Pizarro was very interested in the Peru's Inca Empire, mostly because they were wealthier than the Aztecs. he arrived at Peru in 1532. during that time, Atahualpa was the Incan ruler. When Pizarro asked, Atahualpa refuesed to convert to a christian. pizarro, in anger, turned to his Indian allies to murder not only Atahualpa, but thousands of Incan people. in spite of resistence, pizarro and his crew invaded their homeland. they had very powerful weapons, and the fact that the Inca were weakened by European diseases did not help at all. later on though, pizarro was killed by a rival spanish faction.

Indirect Consequences

The consequence of stealing from the Inca is that he was murdered. he took Atahualpa and killed him even though the Incan Empire paid the ransom Pizarro requested. that is very dishonest and nobody should have to go through that. so he killed the ruler leaving total control over the silver mines.
