(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.

Vasco Nunez Balboa, and his men are executing a number of Central American Indian sodomites, by siccing Spanish Bulldogs on them. In his brief mention of this incident, Gómara notes: “Balboa set his dogs on fifty putos he found there and then burned them, first knowing of their abominable and filthy sin.” Image and quote found on the University of Colorado’s website.
