Francisco Pizarro is credited with the capture of Peru and the Incas in the name of the Spanish crown. One could also say, Pizarro accomplished his goal of exploiting the wealth of South America. The main interest in the colonies by Spain was gold and silver. To that end, one could describe Pizarro as very successful. The Incas had a wealth of gold mines, which Pizarro and his brothers ruthlessly pillaged.
