Diego de Almagro
Diego de Almagro was a Spanish conquistador and explorer who played a significant role in the Spanish conquest of South America, particularly in Chile and Peru. Born in 1475 in the province of Castile, he became known for his ambitious expeditions that sought to claim lands for the Spanish crown. Initially an ally of Francisco Pizarro, Almagro's relationship with him soured over territorial disputes and the division of riches acquired during their conquests. His rivalry with Pizarro ultimately led to his downfall; he was executed in 1538 after a failed rebellion against Pizarro's rule. Almagro's legacy is marked by the complexities of conquest, ambition, and the violent interactions between Spanish settlers and indigenous populations.
