The Aztecs feared the Spanish (Hernado de Cortes) because of sevreral reasons. I will list all those i know: 1) The Spanish had a propechy that said there god would come to them on boats. They believed this would come true. They thought that the Spanish were their god forfilling the propecy. 2) The spanish had horses which were unknown to the Aztecs. (Remember that horses were original to Europe's area and that they came over through the Columbian exchange with pigs earthworms...) They were fearful of the horses. 3) The Spanish had weapons like guns the Aztecs had feathersheilds and bows and arrows. That made them fearful. 4) they also had massive ships that they arrived on and they also were unaware of the time that the 'god' would come. I hope this answered your question, if not ask more. Thank you. -Roundrupert
Some Native Americans joined the Spanish against the Aztecs due to a combination of factors, including longstanding grievances against Aztec rule, which often involved tribute and warfare. The Spanish offered these groups an opportunity to ally with a powerful force against their oppressors, promising them freedom and support in their struggle. Additionally, the desire for new alliances and the prospect of gaining power or territory motivated some tribes to collaborate with the Spanish during the conquest.
Yes. They are a combination of natives such as aztecs and a few numbers of spanish
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.
Spanish conquistadors conquered a huge number of Native Americans because the Spanish was armed with guns, hores, swords, etc. But the Native Americans didn't have the weapons the Spanish had.
in previous years, the Aztecs had plundered them and used their young a human sacrifices. Wouldn't you?

Native Americans found in Mexico when Spanish arrived. The many interracial marriages between those natives and the Spanish conquistadores. The many ethnicities that have migrated into Mexico from modern times.
Bartolomé de las Casas was a Spanish missionary who spoke out against the mistreatment of Native Americans by the Spanish. He was known for his advocacy for the rights of indigenous peoples and his writings condemning the abuses they suffered at the hands of the Spanish colonizers.
