First the Pope told the Spaniards that the people were not human, but a kind of animal and thus had no soul. So it was sanctioned by their religious leader. In America, this was finally sorted out in court in the late 1800's that the people were indeed human.

Second they had guns which greatly slanted the odds in their favor.
