Who was Atahualpa
Who was Atahualpa
Atahualpa was the
Ticci Cápac, the King of the New World.
Atahualpa was the organizer and leader of the armed resistance opposed to the Inca invasion. This resistance was of such magnitude that soon became offensive until arriving at the main city of the Tahuantinsuyo -Cusco-, entering there and to finish with the high public employees of the Empire. Atahualpa and its armies won in 1532; they had taken imprisoned and killed Huáscar, who defended the imperialistic and conquering official policy of the Tahuantinsuyo; in addition they had managed to articulate a Popular Army of Liberation whose gestes extended for three years throughout which eleven battles occurred. We know with certainty that Atahualpa and his popular troops of liberation conceived the creation of a Tahuantinsuyu that excluded the privileges from blood and conquers not only by the wars their selves, but because at the time of the military triumph he did not self-proclaim the "legitimate Inca", but, very on the contrary,
Ticci Cápac, that is, King of the New World. Their project was then, to create a New Tahuantinsuyu, without privileges of blood nor of belonging to some ethnic group, on the basis of the triumphant Popular Army, organically related and born from the popular sectors that during decades had been conquered and dominated by the Incas.
