LXXXIII. About how Don Francisco Pizarro returned to the City of the Kings, then left to go to the city of Cuzco when he learned of the things that were happening there

A historical analysis reveals the strategic decisions of Francisco Pizarro, who returned to the City of the Kings (Lima) before proceeding to Cuzco upon learning of significant developments there. This account, extracted from 'The Discovery and Conquest of Peru,' provides insights into Pizarro's navigational choices during his conquest of the Inca Empire. The study employs a narrative approach, drawing from primary historical sources to reconstruct Pizarro's movements and their implications for the conquest's trajectory. It underscores the importance of real-time information in shaping military strategy during this pivotal period.
