Huà ¡scar, Sapa Inca, Incan Empire

Huáscar Inca (1503-1532) was Sapa Inca of the Inca Empire from 1527 to 1532. The result of his accession and the dispute over it led to civil war between Huáscar (made Emperor by a faction based in Cuzco) and Atahualpa (backed by leaders who were based in the north with Huayna). Huáscar then declared war on Atahualpa. The battles chronivled speak of Quizquiz (Atahualpa's commander) leading armies of 60,000 men against armies of 60,000 men supporting Huáscar. Huascar was defeated in the battle of Chimborazo and the Battle of Quipaipan. He was made prisoner, and Atahuallpa's chiefs Quizquiz and Chalicuchima occupied Cuzco. The war had Atahualpa in the clear ascendancy on Pizarro's arrival. However it was partly due to the ongoing civil war that Pizarro was able to triumph.
