AI overview
Atahualpa was the last effective ruler of the Inca Empire, reigning for just over a year before being captured and executed by Spanish conquistadors in 1533 during their conquest of Peru. His brief reign and dramatic death marked the end of Inca imperial power and a pivotal moment in the collision between European and indigenous American civilizations.

Atawallpa (), also Atahualpa or Ataw Wallpa (, ) ( 150229 August 1533), whose regnal name was Caccha Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui Inca (from the caccha idol and to honour the emperor Pachacuti), was the last effective Inca emperor, reigning from April 1532 until his capture and execution in July of the following year, as part of the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire.
== Biography == Atawallpa was the son of the emperor Huayna Cápac, who died around 1525 along with his successor, Ninan Cuyochi, in a smallpox epidemic. Atawallpa initially accepted his half-brother Huáscar as the new emperor, who in turn appointed him as governor of Quito in the north of the empire. The uneasy peace between them deteriorated over the next few years. Atawallpa sought to create an independent state in Quito. From 1529 to 1532, they contested the succession in the Inca Civil War. Huáscar managed to take Atawallpa prisoner. Atawallpa escaped and rallied his forces, winning several battles against Huáscar's forces before capturing Huáscar.
