What did the Spanish conquistadors do to the Inca civilization?

Answer 1

Spanish colonization affected the Incan community in every way imaginable. The conquest of the Incas caused the Incan empire to collapse, and the Spanish subsequently took almost all of the Incans who were not killed by disease, starvation, or battle as slaves on the new encomienda plantations. The Incas went from a powerful nation to mere servants. Their land was taken, their food was eaten, their gold was stolen, they were killed or enslaved, their temples were abandoned or destroyed, and their language (quiche) was lost for a while.

The spanish "colonization" was not good for their survival.

Answer 2

The Spanish gave the Aztecs many diseases such as Smallpox, Measles and Influenza. These diseases made the Aztec people very weak and ill.

The Spanish tried to spread the Catholic religion throughout Mexico forcing Aztecs to learn more about God and The Bible. If children didn't learn their lesson about it they were punished. They were forced to stop worshiping their gods and celebrating their festivals.

Aztec people where made to work on estates or in mines.
