The Spanish had superior weaponry to the Aztecs, and were aided by rival tribes who resented Aztec rule. The primary reason may have been the effect of the diseases spread to the Aztecs by the Spanish. Lacking any immunity to these diseases, many of the Aztecs became seriously ill or died.

Why was Knowledge of the land NOT an advantage the Spanish had oiver the Native Americans?

Knowledge of the land was not an advantage the Spanish had over Native Americans because the indigenous peoples had a deep understanding of their environment, including its geography, resources, and seasonal changes. In contrast, the Spanish were newcomers who often struggled to navigate unfamiliar terrain and adapt to local conditions. Native Americans utilized their knowledge for hunting, agriculture, and strategic planning, which often gave them an upper hand in conflicts. Furthermore, the Spanish often underestimated indigenous strategies and their intimate connection to the land.
