Atahualpa agreed to a ransom and soon all the gold and silver of the mighty Empire was flowing into Pizarro's possession. Playing off Inca factions against one another, Pizarro made himself master of Peru by 1533. The natives rebelled on several occasions, but Pizarro and his brothers always managed to put these insurrections down. Pizarro was killed by the son of a former rival in 1541. Hernan Cortez defeated the Aztec Empire :)
