How did the Spanish defeat the Incas and the Aztecs despite the difference in numbers?

The Spanish had a technological advantage, having steel weapons, guns, and horses. Many Native Americans had never seen these before, and were terrified of them. Also, the two empires were not completely unified, but made of dozens of different tribes and peoples conquered by the Aztecs and Incas. The Spaniards took advantage of this by making alliances with those vengeful tribes. But the most deadly weapon the Spanish had was disease. Most Europeans were immune to smallpox, but Native Americans were not. Smallpox wiped out thousands of people in the Americas, including the emperor of Inca himself, thus making them easy to conquer.

Why were Cortez and Pizarro able to conquer the Incas and Aztecs fairly easily?

Cortez and Pizarro were able to conquer the Incas and Aztecs fairly easily due to several factors. These factors include superior military technology such as firearms, steel weapons, and armor, as well as the strategic use of horses, which were unfamiliar to the indigenous peoples. Additionally, the Spanish benefited from alliances with indigenous groups who were enemies of the Aztecs and Incas, as well as the devastating impact of European diseases like smallpox, which decimated the native populations. The Spanish also exploited internal divisions and political instability within the Aztec and Inca empires to their advantage.
