How many Inca and Spanish solders fought?

The Inca forces during the Spanish conquest, particularly in the battle of Cajamarca in 1532, are estimated to have numbered around 80,000 soldiers, although this figure might include non-combatants. In contrast, the Spanish contingent led by Francisco Pizarro consisted of about 168 men, including soldiers and support personnel. The vast numerical superiority of the Inca was offset by the Spanish's advanced weaponry, horses, and strategic tactics. This disparity played a crucial role in the outcome of the conflict.
