What did The Spanish have better than the Aztecs and Incas.?

The Spanish had superior military technology, including firearms and steel weaponry, which gave them a significant advantage in battles against the Aztecs and Incas. Additionally, they possessed horses, which were not present in the Americas and provided mobility and a psychological edge. The Spanish also benefited from a network of alliances with local tribes who were enemies of the Aztecs and Incas, enabling them to amplify their forces. Lastly, the Spanish brought diseases like smallpox, which devastated Indigenous populations and weakened their resistance.


Reasons for spanish victories Aztecs and Incas?

There were several reasons that the spanish were able to defeat the Aztecs, and these applied to the Incas as well. The Spanish had much more advanced technology than the Aztecs, such as gunpowder, horses, cannons, and steel weapons (which were stronger than the Aztec obsidian blades). The Spanish also had the advantage of surprise, as they were welcomed into the Aztec empire as honored guests but abruptly betrayed and slaughtered many Aztec citizens before they were driven from the city. Third, European diseases such as smallpox took their toll on the Aztec people. Finally, the Aztecs did not continue and finish defeating the Spanish after La Noche Triste, the only major Aztec victory during the conquest. The Spanish survivors were thus able to regroup and return with more soldiers.


Why were the Europeans able to conquer the Aztecs?

Because they where way more advanced than the Aztecs and they had support from nearby tribes that hated the Aztecs.

What are the 2 major reasons why the Spanish were able to conquer both the Aztecs and Incas?

First of all, the total ruthlesness and singlemindedness and lack of good faith of the Conquistadores, something alien to the Aztecs and Incas and something which they did not fully appreciate until it was too late. Secondly, the Conquistadores were much better armed than the Incas and the Aztecs who had to make do with wooden clubs and the occasional bronze weapons against iron pikes, swords and a little later, guns. The war horses of the Spanish also intimidated them much. A third reason often mentioned - but this one especially relevant to the Mayas - was the belief that a 'white god' would at one point come across the ocean, which made the Mayas hold back until it was too late.

Why do we know more about the Aztecs than the olmecs or Mayas?

We know more about the Aztecs than the Olmecs and Mayas because the Aztec civilization flourished later in history, during the 14th to 16th centuries, coinciding with European exploration and documentation. The Olmecs and Mayas, on the other hand, were earlier civilizations, with the Olmecs dating back to around 1200 BCE and the Mayas reaching their peak between 250-900 CE, leaving less direct historical records for us to study.

Who was smarter the Aztecs Mayans or Incas?

It is not accurate or fair to definitively say that one ancient civilization was "smarter" than another, as intelligence is a complex and multifaceted trait that cannot be easily measured or compared across different cultures. Each of the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas had their own unique advancements in areas such as architecture, astronomy, mathematics, and agriculture, demonstrating their sophisticated knowledge and skills in various fields. It is important to appreciate and study the achievements of each civilization within their respective historical and cultural contexts rather than trying to rank them in terms of intelligence.


The Spanish had better than the Aztecs and Incas?

The Spanish had superior weaponry such as guns, cannons, and steel swords compared to the Aztecs and Incas who primarily used obsidian weapons. The Spanish also had horses, which the indigenous peoples had never encountered before, giving them a military advantage. Additionally, the Spanish had the assistance of indigenous allies who were enemies of the Aztec and Inca Empires.
