Francisco Pizarro was mainly influenced by his mentor and partner in exploration, Vasco Nunez de Balboa, who was the first European to reach the Pacific Ocean. Pizarro was also influenced by his brothers, who were involved in early explorations of South America. Additionally, the stories of other Spanish conquistadors, such as Hernan Cortes and Pedro de Alvarado, would have likely inspired Pizarro in his own conquests.
