ATAHUALPA.

Atahualpa was the 13th and last ruler of the Tahuantinsuyo, or Inca empire, that covered present-day Bolivia, Peru, and parts of Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, and Colombia.
Atahualpa was born in Quito, present day capital of Ecuador, and was one of the younger and favorite son among the sons of the Inca ruler, Huayna Capac. Her mother was an  Ecuadorian princess, and concubine of the Inca ruler. Atahualpa was not a legitimate heir.
The Incas were only permitted to marry their sisters, because no one else was noble enough to sustain the power invested only in the Inca line of emperors. A lack of harmony would arise if the heir was not from the noble blood putting the whole empire in jeopardy.
Huayna Capac died, before his time, from an infectious disease thought to be malaria or smallpox, brought to the Inca land by the europeans. No one knows if the infectious disease was brought to the land on purpose since it was the method that the Europeans used to fight their wars.
After Huayna Capac death, the heir to the throne also died, forcing the empire to be divided between the brothers Atahualpa and Huascar. Atahualpa ruled the Northern region while his brother Huascar ruled the Southern region.
Since Atahualpa was not from the sacred line, he acted solely in his own will without been backed up by the noble class. Then, Atahualpa waged a bloody civil war against his own brother, Huascar, that caused  severe distrust and division in the Inca empire. He later had Huascar murdered to ensure that he no longer was a threat to him.
The european invaders later exploited the division of power and the spread of the infectious diseases among the andean people to their own benefit since they became immune to the virus making the situation worse.
Atahualpa saw how enamored the europeans were of gold and silver and he is best known for providing a room full of gold and silver as his ransom when the foreign invaders captured him using the help of Huascar followers to provoke more confusion, though they still executed him.
Cultural destruction followed on a large scale, replacing it with a system with no respect for the land.
Under the Incas, consumption and food production had been carefully balanced, with everyone contributing to the good of the community and everyone receiving enough.
