Both the Aztec and Inca Empires fell from within. You may read in your text book that the Spanish Army attacking Mexico City had a few hundred men. In that case it does not mention the Indian tribes that had been chafing under Aztec rule. It does not mention the thousands of those warriors that joined the Spanish.
Then Montezuma, the Aztec leader, promised the Aztec Gods would join the fight in 10 days. After 11 days the gods did not arrive. His own people killed him and the Spanish took over.
With the Inca Empire, the Spanish arrived during a civil war. Pizarro, the Spanish Conquistador, made the losing general an offer he could not refuse. I will fight on your side and make you king, but you will work under me. So Pizarro appointed him King over the Incas. When he died, the Spanish made his son King. When he died, the Spanish did not appoint another king.
