How Did the Spaniards Trap the Inca Leader Atahualpa?

In November 1532, the Inca leader Atahualpa attended the Spanish banquet with thousands of unarmed servants, but it was an ambush.
At the summit of the breathtaking Andes, where the Inca Empire once stood as a testament to human tenacity and architectural genius, lies a tale of intrigue and ambition that will change the course of history forever.
At the height of its glory, the Inca Empire stretched along the spine of the Andes in the region of South America from present-day Ecuador to central Chile. At its heart was the thirteenth and last emperor, Atahualpa, whose reign marked the era with both splendor and infighting.
As the Incas reveled in their own glory in the process, gloomy darkness was approaching from the east - the Spanish, led by Francisco Pizarro, driven by tales of cities paved with gold and hunger for new lands.
The encounter of Atahualpa and Pizarro is one of the most intriguing and tragic stories in history; It would be a dance of ambition, trust, and betrayal. In the shadow of Spanish intrigues, let's take a journey through this turbulent tale where the mighty Inca sun begins to set.
At its zenith, the Inca Empire or Tawantinsuyu, meaning 'Four Regions' in Quechua, ran along the spine of the Andes. It was the largest empire in pre-Columbian America and one of the most powerful entities in the western hemisphere.
Spanning terrain from high mountains to coastal plains and deep valleys, the empire flourished thanks to the innovation and adaptability of its people.
Ingenious agricultural terraces carved into the steep mountain slopes, known as the "Andén," allowed the cultivation of a variety of crops, from maize and potatoes in the high-altitude areas to coca leaves and fruit in the tropical plains.
