Why were the spanish able to defeat the Aztec and the Inca?
From what I know, they say that it was most likely caused by the spread of diseases which the Spanish passed on to them. They may have also had more complex weapons
Four reasons:
- Most devastatingly, diseases the Spanish brought with them, such as smallpox, ravaged South America and killed millions, as no-one had any inherited resistance to the diseases.
- The Spanish possessed iron weapons and armour, guns and horses, all of which frightened the native people and were vastly superior to the wood-and-glass weapons and cloth armour they used.
- The Spanish exploited existing rivalries and conflicts by allying with some states to attack their enemies, thereby giving them the advantage of greater numbers and local knowledge. This was particularly significant against the Aztec Empire.
- The Spanish were lucky and made use of their luck to gain advantage. The Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, for example, was made much easier by the Aztec's believing Cortes was a god, while the Incas were in the middle of a civil war when the Spanish arrived, which prevented them from adequately defending themselves.
