Best Answer

The Spanish had very superior weaponry (guns), and they also brought many diseases with them that had previously never been seen the Americas. That is the how. The reason, however, depends on who you are. They wanted to spread Catholicism, as well as extend the Spanish Empire. Also, they wanted the plunder they would get from looting the sacred Incan cities.
