The Incas and other native American societies were extremely susceptible to European diseases because they had never been exposed to the diseases and so had no herd immunity, allowing the disease to spread rapidly and freely.

In Europe the many people that had previously had these diseases were immune, and so could not catch it again, giving the Europeans some degree of herd immunity. Once the disease ran out of easily-available nonimmune people, it could no longer spread..
