What was the major reason for the fighting between the Spanish and the Aztecs and between the Spanish and the Incas?

Not only the Aztecs of Mexico and the Incas of South America were conquered by the Spanish, but also the Mayans in Mexico and northern Central America. The Spanish were seeking treasure: the gold, pearls and other valuables that the native tribes had accumulated. Considering the natives as savages, the Spanish took anything they found and (with their superior arms) subjugated any tribes that fought them. The Spanish also enslaved many of the Caribbean island populations. The discovery of the New World led to the colonization by the Spanish (and other European nations) of the lands of these groups.
