Why did some Ecuadoran groups welcome the Spanish invasion in 1534?

When the Spanish invaded Ecuador in 1534, some local groups welcomed them as liberators because they resented Inca rule, which had been established in the region for less than 50 years.12

Many pre-Inca chiefdoms still maintained the allegiance of their people, who had been subjected to forced migrations and the imposition of Inca authority. Consequently, when the Spanish forces led by Sebastian de Benalcázar arrived from Peru, these groups viewed the newcomers as a means to escape the Inca presence. However, this was not a universal sentiment, as the Spanish also encountered stiff resistance from other groups, most notably from the local leader Rumiñahui, who was eventually captured and executed in Quito.12
