This is a map depicting Francisco Pizarro's explorations of South America or the Inca Empire.
Francisco Pizarro was a seasoned campaigner who had been inspired by Hernán Cortés' audacious (and lucrative) conquest of Mexico. In 1532, with a troop of 160 Spaniards Pizarro set off along the western coast of South America in search of a similar empire to conquer and plunder. The troop included four of Pizarro's brothers. Diego de Almagro was also involved, and would arrive with reinforcements after Atahualpa's capture. The Spanish had an enormous advantage over the Andeans with their horses, armor and weapons. They had some interpreters that had been previously captured from a trading vessel.
