The cause of the Incan empire downfall was the conquest of the Spanish. The Spanish were able to take towns owned by the Incans to overthrow their rule. The other Incan towns became close allies with the take over led by Francisco Pizzaro. His object was clearly to conquer and destroy all of what pertained to the Incas. At first Pizzaro and his brother had a discreprancy of who should rule. His plan to conquer the Incas included a slick idea of writing a letter to the king. The letter was of sick context that warned the leaders of the Incas that soon their land would be governed byFransisco Pizzaro. (http://libraqry.thinkquest.org/J002678F/pizarro.htm) The only goal that existed in the mind of this brutal man was wealth. Gold, silver, and other riches that covered the land of the Incas was truly his one and only objective.
