Reasons for spanish victories Aztecs and Incas?
There were several reasons that the spanish were able to defeat the Aztecs, and these applied to the Incas as well. The Spanish had much more advanced technology than the Aztecs, such as gunpowder, horses, cannons, and steel weapons (which were stronger than the Aztec obsidian blades). The Spanish also had the advantage of surprise, as they were welcomed into the Aztec empire as honored guests but abruptly betrayed and slaughtered many Aztec citizens before they were driven from the city. Third, European diseases such as smallpox took their toll on the Aztec people. Finally, the Aztecs did not continue and finish defeating the Spanish after La Noche Triste, the only major Aztec victory during the conquest. The Spanish survivors were thus able to regroup and return with more soldiers.
Why were the Europeans able to conquer the Aztecs?
Because they where way more advanced than the Aztecs and they had support from nearby tribes that hated the Aztecs.
What did the Incas do?
The Incas were the first to use paved roads to carry verbal messages around the Empire. They did a relay type thing. One runner would go as far as he could then pass the message on to another runner and so on. They could cover 150 miles in a day. They also built a strong army and conquered lots of smaller civilizations. But they didn't dare attack the Aztecs, the only civilization stronger than them. Yes, they were cannibals, but they invented popcorn.

What are the 2 major reasons why the Spanish were able to conquer both the Aztecs and Incas?
First of all, the total ruthlesness and singlemindedness and lack of good faith of the Conquistadores, something alien to the Aztecs and Incas and something which they did not fully appreciate until it was too late. Secondly, the Conquistadores were much better armed than the Incas and the Aztecs who had to make do with wooden clubs and the occasional bronze weapons against iron pikes, swords and a little later, guns. The war horses of the Spanish also intimidated them much. A third reason often mentioned - but this one especially relevant to the Mayas - was the belief that a 'white god' would at one point come across the ocean, which made the Mayas hold back until it was too late.

What are the differences between the Aztecs Mayans and Incas?
First of all, The Aztecs were the only of the three that sacrificed human hearts to their gods, while the Incas were the only civilization of the time to have taught the practice of brain surgery. Although they used brain surgery, they were only successful about 25% of the time, which is still better than no success at all. The Incas also accumulated the largest empire of the three. The Mayans Lasted Longer.
Why was Spain's ownership of the world's largest overseas holdings important?
Your question makes no sense. What period in history are you asking about? You used the tags "US History," "Incas," and "Aztecs," but Spanish conquerors defeated the Incas and Aztecs more than 250 years before the United States was founded. You should also explain what you mean by "holdings."
