"gold brings HAPPINESS" change my mind?

[6 Fernando de Grizio @FGrizio]

Bad news... This is probably my last tweet here. I won't be joining any more expeditions from now on since I am over 50 years old. I will be enjoying my life with the gold I received. Bye everyone 👋👋👋 Thank you for following me 😄

26 June 1541
FRANCISCO IS ASSASSINATED
The supporters of Almagro stormed Francisco's palace in Lima and assassinated him. They killed my friend to take their revenge. 😭 #sad #RestInPeace #FranciscoPizarro
Rest in peace great mind.. we will always remember you!

Both Pizarro and Almagro claimed the city of Cuzco so a dispute occurred between the Pizarro brothers and Almagro. Soon after, Almagro was executed by Francisco's brothers in a war in 1538 which was made to claim Cusco.

We conquistadors incredibly profited from our victory, as we got control of Peru. 🥳💸
This conquest had a great contribution to the established Spanish control in South America.🇪🇸💪

Q14.8
We killed their emperor Atahualpa in front of their eyes after turning him into a Christian, conquered their capital and stole their gold.

“I have not come here for such reasons. I have come to take away their gold.” -Francisco 🤑

Q14.7
We converted many of them to Christians with the help of Requerimiento... 😬😀

[6 Fernando de Grizio @FGrizio]

Q14.6
Also our physical encounter with the indigenous was neither peacefully nor friendly. We had "deadly weapons" so we were able to kill thousand of Incas.⚔️😵

[6 Fernando de Grizio @FGrizio]

Q14.5
It is important to record that we didn’t intentionally brought those viruses...it was not a part of the plan 😢😐 But they actually helped us conquering the empire with only 168 men by killing most of the native population.

Q14.4
Most of the conquistadors had been exposed to these viruses in Europe, so they were protected from their effects👍, but those of the New World were completely vulnerable since they weren’t immuned.😐

Q14.3
Our conquest of the Inca Empire resulted in epidemics of smallpox and measles virus infection which decimated the natives.🦠🤒🦠

[6 Fernando de Grizio @FGrizio]

Q14.2
Even though it was not our crew who first brought smallpox🦠 to the Americas, I am sure that we brought the virus to the "Incas" during our fights.😬

Q14.1
Our expedition to Peru led by Francisco was the reason for the fall of the empire.

[6 Fernando de Grizio @FGrizio]

WE ACHIEVED THE PURPOSE OF OUR EXPLORATION!!!

Q13.3
We also brought some good information to Spain that Francisco established Lima as the capital of the conquered empire and became its governor. He gained this land for Spain.🥳🇪🇸
Now Spain has another colony in the South Americas!😃

[6 Fernando de Grizio @FGrizio]

I am sure that more Europeans would want to go to the Americas in the future and #colonize there to get rich. 😃😕

[6 Fernando de Grizio @FGrizio]

Q13.2
We brought back the information that the Inca Empire had a really good architecture and it was an advanced Empire in the South Americas with its gold, silver and other riches.

[6 Fernando de Grizio @FGrizio]

Q13.1
We brought a lot of gold and silver ingots back to Spain.
Only by capturing Atahualpa, the gold we gained totaled 1.3 million pesos de oro. Spain became a really rich country after we brought all the gold we were given and all the gold we found (stealed🤫) back to Spain.

[6 Fernando de Grizio @FGrizio]

Q12.4
The natives welcomed us really friendly and respectfully but i admit, our crew acted barbaric against them. We used our spears, swords and Arquebuses even though they didn't have anything in their hands...😐😁

[6 Fernando de Grizio @FGrizio]

Q12.3
The Incas were really friendly and naive people. To be honest, we used it to conquer them and get their gold.😅

Did Atahualpa really believe that Francisco would set him free after getting gold and silver?... 😂😅

[6 Fernando de Grizio @FGrizio]

Q12.2
As Francisco said, “If you do not accept the yoke of the Church and the King of Spain, I will make war on you…�� he forcibly converted Incas to Christians by threatening them.🤫🙂
