MAY 6, 1536: START OF NATION­AL LIB­ER­A­TION WAR LEADED BY MANCO INCA

Manco Inca Yupan­qui (1516–1544) (Man­qu Inka Yupanki in Quechua) was one of the Incas of Vil­cabamba. He was also known as “Manco II” and “Manco Cápac II” (“Man­qu Qhapaq II”). Born in 1516, he was one of the sons of Huayna Cápac.

Túpac Huallpa was a pup­pet ruler crowned by the con­quista­dor Fran­cisco Pizarro. Manco Inca then approached Fran­cisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro in Cajamarca to nego­ti­ate a pact to rule the Inca peoples and Peru since all of the roy­al nobles were killed. The con­quista­dors agreed, and in 1534 Manco was crowned the ruler of the Inca in Cuzco by Fran­cisco Pizarro, and allowed to rule his people. He did not real­ize that he too was being used by Pizarro as a pup­pet ruler for the Span­ish con­quista­dors, who planned to con­quer his coun­try and its people.

Recognition as Inca emperor

When war broke out between his brothers Huáscar and Atahualpa, Manco Inca returned from an expedition to Paititi to reinforce the former's troops. During the return he learned of the triumph of the atahualpistas who even already controlled Cusco (1532). They also informed him of the proximity of a Huascarista army that was accompanied by "emissaries of the god Wiracocha". It was the Spanish.

 

Then, Inca Manco Capac joined Francisco Pizarro in Jaquijahuana, and together they defeated the Atahualpista general Quisquis in the Battle of Anta. Thi

Biography

Origin and enthronement

Because of this, Manco Inca was forced to flee, avoiding any contact with the atahualpists.[3]
