After the Europeans arrived, the first thing that caused a lot of deaths was war. European solders on horseback with steel swords were far more effective fighters that Native Americans. Pizarro with his little band would kill over 10,000 Indians. The Spanish not only destroyed and killed many Aztec and Inca Indians, but also destroyed the people who had maintained peace in those areas. Warfare broke out among the other indians. Next, the Spanish enslaved as many Indians as they could. Large numbers died. When no new Indians were available, the Spanish imported Africans. Finally European diseases started spreading. Diseases such as scarlet fever, smallpox, measles, diphtheria, and a few others wiped a number of Native Americans.
