Paper long abstract

This contribution aims to analize the question posed to the Spanish monarchy by the last Inkas resistence since 1532 to 1572, in the peruvian viceroyalty. It's focused on the way the Spanish Crown tried to face this question and the failure of the peace negotiations due to culturals misunderstandings. The Spanish Crown tried in several moment to negotiate peace in order to avoid the risk that the Inka resistence was creating to the control of that difficult area. The Diego Rodriguez de Figueroa mission (in 1565) was the most satisfactory attempt in that direction, and led to a formal peace treaty (called Urubamba treaty), neverthless, the peace settled by the treaty didn't resist too much. We analize both the reasons of this failure and the difficulty of reaching an agreement, founded also, but not only, in cultural reasons.
