Why did the Aztecs believe Quetzalcoatl would return?

The Aztecs believed Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent god, would return due to a prophecy that foretold his return in the form of a pale-skinned man. This belief was fueled by historical accounts that described his departure from the Aztec homeland, promising to return. Additionally, the arrival of Spanish conquistadors, particularly Hernán Cortés, coincided with the timing of this prophecy, leading some Aztecs to mistakenly associate Cortés with Quetzalcoatl. This belief significantly influenced their response to the Spanish invasion.

What advantages did Spanish forces have in conquering the Aztec and Inca empires?

The Spanish had three advantages in conquering the Incas and Aztecs. One was the horse, which was strange and frightening to the natives. Another was their armor and weapons and a third was their treachery. However, in the case of the Inca, possibly the most important advantage the Spanish had was a legend or belief that a lighter skinned god would one day come from the sea. The Spanish were lighter skinned than the natives and they did come from the sea.
