- Go to Atahualpa and ask if we could meet with him.
- Pizarro and his men found a camp at which Atahualpa was staying. Pizarro sent a messenger to Atahualpa asking if they could meet with him.
- Atahualpa agreed to meet with them. He rode into the place where they were supposed to meet. However, when he arrived, the place looked deserted.
- Where is everyone?
- A man named Vicente de Valverde appeared. Through a translator, he told the Inca Atahualpa that he and his people must convert to Spanish, and if he refused he would be considered an enemy of the Church and of Spain.
- No
- Convert to Spanish or become an enemy.
- Atahualpa disagreed. His refusal gave Francisco Pizarro enough reason to attack the Inca people. The Spanish opened fire and attacked the Inca soldiers that were there with Atahualpa. In the struggle, Pizarro's men went after the Inca intending to kill him. However, Pizarro had plans of his own. Atahualpa was captured and taken prisoner.
- Atahualpa wanted freedom in exchange for a room filled with gold and silver. They shook on it, but Pizarro had no intentions of letting Atahualpa go as Pizarro needed Atahualpa's influence over the Inca people to keep order once the Spanish started to take over. Atahualpa wanted his brother executed and was charged with 12 things and was found guilty.
- Let me go and I'll give you a room full of gold and silver. Execute my brother.
- That very night, Francisco Pizarro decided to execute Atahualpa. After being led to the place of execution, Atahualpa begged for his life. Valverde, the priest that started the whole thing, told Atahualpa that if he agreed to convert then he would reduce the sentence. Atahualpa agreed to be baptized and was strangled instead of being burnt. Atahualpa died on August 29, 1553. With him, died "the independent existence of a noble race".
- Convert to Spanish and your sentence will be reduced.
- Please!!!!
