How did pizzaro kill the will of the Inca?

Francisco Pizarro effectively shattered the will of the Inca by capturing their leader, Atahualpa, during the Battle of Cajamarca in 1532. Following his capture, Pizarro demanded a large ransom in gold and silver, which the Incas paid, but he ultimately executed Atahualpa anyway. This act not only eliminated their central leadership but also instilled fear and confusion among the Inca people, leading to a rapid decline in resistance against the Spanish conquest. The combination of military tactics, psychological warfare, and ruthless betrayal dismantled the Inca's resolve to fight back.
