(1533) The Execution of the Inca Emperor, Atahualpa, at the Stake, Ordered by Francisco Pizarro.

After converting Atahualpa (Atabalica) to Christianity, Francisco Pizarro had him strangled and burned so that the Spanish crown in Europe could further subdue Central and South America and gain access to its mineral wealth and treasures. There were many European powers at that time that coveted the treasures that lied in these Indian regions.

Hernando Cortés and the Spanish Soldiers Confront the Indians.

In Fray Diego Durán. La Historia antigua de la Nueva España. 1585 [Manuscript facsimile, ca. nineteenth century]. The fierce confrontation between the Spaniards under Cortés and the followers of Moctezuma received full treatment in Father's Durán's illustrated history of Mexico, compiled shortly after the early sixteenth-century conquest. The Mexica (Aztec) peoples confronted a powerful Spanish force supplemented by a sizable number of allies from the area surrounding Tenochtitlán [later named Mexico City] during the 1519-1521 campaigns. Durán's informants have skillfully distinguished Indian peoples from the European invaders, with a ghostly white image representing the Spanish. The Library of Congress acquired this extremely rare facsimile manuscript in the Peter Force Collection purchase in 1867. (Peter Force Collection, Manuscript Division)
