Pizzaro Article Response
It was interesting in this article how it talked about how Pizarro came back twice to this one empire. The first time he came was in the year 1524 when he was just seeing how the nation was. He had a hard time in Panama and went back to Spain empty handed. The second time he went on the second voyage to the new world with 160 men and several horses carried on two large ships. Coming to this new world they saw that the Incas had gold, silver, and very nice hand woven fabrics. Through this interaction the Spanish wanted more and started to take over the land enslaving the natives that lived in it. Eventually they changed they way how they used to talk to talking in spanish, which they still use today.
