The fall of the Inca and Aztec empires were alike in several key ways, primarily due to the impact of European colonization, particularly by Spanish conquistadors. Both empires faced internal strife and weakened political structures before their conquests, which made them more vulnerable. Additionally, the introduction of European diseases decimated indigenous populations, significantly undermining their ability to resist. Lastly, the superior military technology and tactics of the Spanish forces played a crucial role in the rapid downfall of both empires.
the incas were in a civil war
The Aztec emperor at the time of the empire's fall was Moctezuma II. He ruled from 1502 until 1520, during which the Spanish conquistadors led by Hernán Cortés arrived in Mexico. Moctezuma initially believed Cortés to be a returning god, which ultimately contributed to the downfall of the Aztec Empire. He was captured and died in 1520, shortly before the empire fell to Spanish forces.

Moctezuma's leadership faced significant challenges as the Spanish ultimately captured Tenochtitlán in 1521, leading to the collapse of the Aztec Empire.

Both the Aztec and Inca Empires fell from within. You may read in your text book that the Spanish Army attacking Mexico City had a few hundred men. In that case it does not mention the Indian tribes that had been chafing under Aztec rule. It does not mention the thousands of those warriors that joined the Spanish. Then Montezuma, the Aztec leader, promised the Aztec Gods would join the fight in 10 days. After 11 days the gods did not arrive. His own people killed him and the Spanish took over. With the Inca Empire, the Spanish arrived during a civil war. Pizarro, the Spanish Conquistador, made the losing general an offer he could not refuse. I will fight on your side and make you king, but you will work under me. So Pizarro appointed him King over the Incas. When he died, the Spanish made his son King. When he died, the Spanish did not appoint another king.
Cortes and Pizarro's expeditions were characterized by their military conquests of powerful indigenous empires such as the Aztec and Inca, respectively. Unlike other explorers who focused on exploration and trade, Cortes and Pizarro sought to conquer and colonize territories for Spain. Their expeditions led to the fall of these empires and the establishment of Spanish control in the region.
