Best Answer

Cortes & Pizarro were the Spanish conquistadors.

Cortez: in 1519 conquered the Aztec empire and left it in ruins and were the first Europeans to find the Mayan ruins.

Pizarro: encouraged by Cortez's success conquered the Incas empire with a small army in 1531. took them one year.

Note: a reason why both lost easily is because of plague witch killed millions; and the Inca empire had rececently drained all military force in a civil war
