  2. Francisco Pizarro was a very evil man. He conquered the Inca Empire (which included the actual territories of Peru, Ecuador, South of Colombia, North of Chile and West of Bolivia) by simply capturing its leader, Atahualpa, whom he then ordered to be killed. After that, he created the city of Lima and established a Spanish colony in the area of the actual Peru. The Aboriginal people who lived there were enslaved.

  3. Well, before Pizarro, all of South America was "terra incognita" (unknown territories) to the Europeans. He departed from Panama and bumped into the incas, a very wealthy empire but, at the time, in the middle of a civil war of sucession. He captured and killed the king, Atahualpa, throwing the empire into caos. The effect was that Peru went through about 100 years of civil war, between the incas and the spaniards and between different factions of the spaniards themselves. There also was a fractic search for gold by the spaniards and a semi-slavery (called "encomiendas" which were groups of indians put in the care of a spanish lord for their conversion to catholicism. In effect, the spaniards used them as free labor) of the locals. By the time order was restored, by viceroy Toledo, of the 8 million population in the last census made by the incas, there were only 1 million left, including spaniards.

    By the way, Pizarro himself was killed by a rival spanish faction.
