His conquest of the Inca empire in Peru opened the way for Spain's colonization of most of South America. Early life Pizarro was born in Trujillo, Spain. His father was a royal captain of infantry. Francisco's parents never married each other. Poor relatives of his mother raised the boy, who never learned to read. In 1502, Pizarro left for the West Indies. He lived for a while in Hispaniola, the main Spanish base in the New World. He may have been aided by a brother of his father's who was already in the West Indies. First expeditions In 1509, Pizarro left Hispaniola to take part in exploration of the Caribbean coast of northern South America and southern Central America. He served as Vasco Nunez de Balboa's chief lieutenant when Balboa marched across the Isthmus of Panama to the Pacific Ocean in 1513. Six years later, the Spaniards founded Panama City on the Pacific coast. Pizarro was one of its wealthiest and most powerful citizens.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History EXPLORATION OF NORTH AMERICA The first attempt by Europeans to colonize the New World occurred around a.d. 1000, when the Vikings sailed from the British Isles to Greenland, established a colony, and then moved on to Labrador, the Baffin Islands, and finally Newfoundland. There they established a colony named Vineland (meaning fertile region) and from that base sailed along the coast of North America, observing the flora, fauna, and native peoples. Inexplicably, after a few years Vineland was abandoned. Although the Vikings never returned to America, their accomplishments became known to other Europeans. Europe, however, was made up of many small principalities whose concerns were mainly local. Europeans may have been intrigued by the stories of the feared Vikings' discovery of a "new world," but they lacked the resources or the will to follow their path of exploration. Trade continued to revolve around the Mediterranean Sea, as it had for hundreds of years. But between 1000 and 1650 a series of interconnected developments occurred in Europe that provided the impetus for the exploration and subsequent colonization of America. These developments included the Protestant Reformation and the subsequent Catholic Counter-Reformation, the Renaissance, the unification of small states into larger ones with centralized political power, the emergence of new technology in navigation and shipbuilding, and the establishment of overland trade with the East and the accompanying transformation of the medieval economy.
