The Incan Civil War or the War of the 2 Brothers started when 2 rival half brothers (hence the name of the war) Hauscar and Atahualpa had a power-strugle over the control of the empire. The resulting power-strugle ended in the splintering of the Incan Empire into 2 factions, each lead by one of the brothers. One tribe the Canari supported Hauscar's faction, thus in retaliation, Atahualpa's faction had genocidal purges against the Canaris. The Incan Civil War lead to the Incan Empire weakened to Spanish Conquistador conquest. Eventually, Atahualpa had Hauscar killed in order for the Spanish to chose him.
