Major Obstacles Pizarro Faced in Conquering Peru

Francisco Pizarro encountered:

1. The Inca Empire: Vast, organized, with large army, road network, and economy—far outnumbering his forces.
2. Terrain: High Andes passes, dense jungles, raging rivers hindered movement.
3. Disease: Smallpox and measles devastated the Inca population, weakening resistance but also disrupting Spanish logistics.
4. Logistics: Supplying a remote army across harsh geography required complex, fragile supply lines.
