There were several factors that contributed to the dominance of the Spanish in the new world. The Spanish had slightly better military equipment, in terms of armor and guns. The guns were terrible guns, by modern standards, but they were still more effective than spears, as well as being more frightening and mysterious, to people who had no previous experience of guns. The population of the new world was generally weakened by their own internal political divisions and could present no united opposition to the Spanish. They were further weakened by the spread of European diseases, especially smallpox, for which they had no immunity. And they were at a disadvantage because they had no knowledge of Spain. The Spanish were mysterious visitors of unknown origin with mysterious capabilities, and this resulted in a generally superstitious reaction to them.

Why were so many areas under spanish control along the coastline?
The Spanish were for a time the dominant seapower of the 16th century, and their explorers were among the first in the New World of the Americas. But in the areas they colonized, there was no means of rapidly crossing the land, only by marching or on horseback. So it was easier to stay along the coast where they could come and go, or send trade back to Spain and other places. When Pizarro conquered the Incas, it required weeks or months for messages and supplies to reach the inland areas of Peru.
