1. Much better weaponry, and horses; 2. the Aztec assumption long held, that the Spanish were some sort of gods; and 3. the 'bloody-mindedness' of the Spanish. Aztecs if they fought, fought to make prisoners and so did not fight to kill (and never really developed the weapons for it). They were totally taken by surprise by a mindset where killing as many adversaries as possible in a fight was a goal in itself.
The Spanish had superior weapons. Guns and cannons trump arrows and spears. Horses gave them advantages as well. They had armor that protected them against most of what the Aztecs and Incas could throw at them. In addition, many Aztecs thought that the Spanish looked like their gods. And the Spanish unknowingly brought smallpox with them that the Aztecs and Incas had no natural immunity for.

They took over the American natives (Incas, Aztecs) and took the wealth for themselves and Spain.
Actually Yes. The had more experience in Mexico than the Spanish did.
I'm not completely sure if this is correct, but I think it was their weapons and the diseases they spread.
the spanish were immune to fatal reactions to the diseases their bodies were used to, but it really hit the Aztecs hard, especially small pox
