After converting Atahualpa (Atabalica) to Christianity, Francisco Pizarro had him strangled and burned so that the Spanish crown in Europe could further subdue Central and South America and gain access to its mineral wealth and treasures. There were many European powers at that time that coveted the treasures that lied in these Indian regions.
