Pizzaro Article Response

This article was very interesting and gave insight to the events leading up the the fall of the Inca Empire. After this culture changed drastically for the Incas and the Spanish. "Peruvian pottery, metal vessels, fine clothing, embroideries, and small worked pieces of gold". This is a passage from the link that explanins the new things Spain got by exploiting this land. Spain would also be getting alot of money from this area of land which would also change life in Spain and also give them more power. Also for the Incas life completely changed. Many of them were put to slavery after this and were forced to learn Christianity which is not something they were used to. Diseases like smallpox, for example, were killing off many Incas and this was a disease they had never been exposed to which all changed their culture. They also saw things like horses and guns which they had never seen before.
