Today we discussed the destruction of the Incan Empire along with review of the Conquest of the Aztecs. We watched a four minute cartoon reenactment of Atahualpa's destruction by Fransisco Pizarro. Some of the conversation points were:
- If you were trying to destroy a different empire, why were Pizarro's tactics extremely good?
- What was the use of religion to justify the massacre of the 1500 Incan citizens?
