Gold and Silver......
The tribes that fought the Incas included the Mapuche and the Shuar. The Spanish were the Inca Empire's final enemies. They took their land and stole their goods.

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. For a much greater look into the influence of the Spanish on Incas, see Related Links below.
Francis Drake stole gold from the Spanish. Sometimes the Spanish stole it back before he gave it to Elizabeth.
He stole cocoa beans from them and that is how we got chocolate.
The Spanish came to central America and delivered diseases such as Smallpox, Measles and Influenza to the Aztecs. The Aztecs, unlike the Spanish, were definitely not immune to the diseases and caught them, making them weak and forcing them to lose the battle between them. Although the Aztecs captured and sacrificed many of the Spanish, the Spanish resulted in taking over the capital city of Tenochtitlan and defeating all the Aztecs. The Spanish at one point 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. They were also made to work in Spanish mines or on estates.
Spanish conquistadors led by Hernan Cortes discovered the Aztec civilization in 1519 during their conquest of Mexico. The Aztecs were initially wary of the Spanish, but eventually Cortes formed alliances with rival indigenous groups and launched a military campaign against the Aztec Empire, resulting in its downfall.
Those caught stealing from the Incas could face severe punishments such as death, enslavement, or harsh physical punishments. The Incas enforced strict laws to protect their property and resources.
Because he stole and destroyed their ships and he stole all of their riches
It is not as much that he did not like the Aztecs but saw the wealth they had and wanted to take for the Spanish. The Aztecs thought Cortes was a living god in the flesh and his men were his crones. With this being the fact, Cortes took down the Aztecs by tricking them into thinking that he was divine. He stole there gold and later on Spanish peoples not only converted them to Christianity since they thought they were devil worshipers, but they also enslaved them. Mass amounts of Aztecs died off due to the diseases through the Colombian Exchange. When this occurred, the Spanish began to buy slaves from West Africa to fill the gap on the plantations. This began the slave trade.
