Did spain conquer the incas and the aztecs for their gold?

Mainly for wealth, but also for power and land. When the Spanish explorers in the New World discovered that the two main advanced American Native civilizations, the Incas and the Aztecs, coveted gold and silver as did European nations, Spanish conquistadors did their best to steal and mine for these precious metals. The Aztecs were conquered and the same thing for the Incas. Spain also established colonies to add more territory under their control as they sought to be the major power in Europe and the New World.
