Final answer:

Pizarro demanded a ransom for the Inca emperor, executed him, and became the ruler of the Inca Empire.


Step-by-step explanation:

Once Pizarro acquired gold from the Incas, he demanded a ransom for the Inca emperor Atahualpa, who was then executed by the Spaniards. Pizarro established control over the Inca Empire and became the de facto ruler. However, he faced resistance from the remaining Incas and had to put down several uprisings.
