Francisco Pizarro I’m Most Proud of. . . 1513 - I joined the expedition of Nunez de Balboa, and there we discovered the Pacific Ocean. 1537 - My travelling partner was Diego de Almagro, we began to fight over who would be in control of the Inca Empire and our fight turned deadly when I killed him and then got the power. 1528 I got a second expedition because I found gold in South America and was given more funding to explore the area for treasures. 1533 I became greedy for money and power, after the Inca's paid their ransom for their leader, I then killed them. I am a valuable employee because. . . I found gold, silver, and food. I brought this back with me to Spain I founded and conquered a new capital called "City Of Kings" (Lima, Peru) I stole gold from Peru and brought it back to Spain My Past Experience With a small army of men, I was able to quickly conquer the Inca Empire. I didn't learn how to read or write which later caused me to embarrassed myself when I negotiated with the Spanish nobles. I travelled to the new world in the America's in 1507, I failed to establish a Spanish colony in an area of Panama. I wanted more wealth and glory so I sailed to the Inca Empire in Peru of January 1531, with 180 soldiers and two cannons. After we took over the Inca Empire, the society was in chaos fighting new European illness. The Basics My Strengths and My Weaknesses are. . .
