For God, Glory and Gold, was their rallying cry, but the conquest of much of the New World by Spanish conquistadors, driven by a mentality reminiscent of the medieval crusaders, was surely one of history's turning points, but even in the 16th century, questions were asked about the morality of their exploits.

What did the Spanish conquistadors do to the Inca civilization?
Spanish colonization affected the Incan community in every way imaginable. The conquest of the Incas caused the Incan empire to collapse, and the Spanish subsequently took almost all of the Incans who were not killed by disease, starvation, or battle as slaves on the new encomienda plantations. The Incas went from a powerful nation to mere servants. Their land was taken, their food was eaten, their gold was stolen, they were killed or enslaved, their temples were abandoned or destroyed, and their language (quiche) was lost for a while.
The spanish "colonization" was not good for their survival.

Why did motecuhzoma welcome Cortes to the Aztec empire?
He believed Cortéz was a descendant of the alleged leader who brought his people to Mexico. Allegedly the leader left the people after bringing them to Mexico, and when he came back to them, they would not recognise him as their leader, and he left again.
Therefore the people believed that his descendants one day would come back and rule them once again.
When Cortéz and his men came with weapons, clothes and bigger ships than they had ever seen, they believed Cortéz was him.
