Did the Incas sacrifice their children?
Incas had human-sacrificial ceremonies, called a Capocha Ritual.
These usually took place if the Inca wanted to get help after earthquakes, droughts, plagues, or war defeats.
Flawless, unblemished children were chosen for this.It was an honour for the child and his/her family to be chosen. During the course of these rituals, the child and his/her family were taken to see the emperor. Then a feast was held in the child's honour.
Finally, the child was taken high up into the Andes Mountains, and placed in a structure made especially for this purpose. The child was then left there to die in the cold. After the ritual, statues were made in the child's honour, as the Incas believed that the child would then become a deity, or a god.

How did the Spanish defeat the Incas and the Aztecs despite the difference in numbers?
The Spanish had a technological advantage, having steel weapons, guns, and horses. Many Native Americans had never seen these before, and were terrified of them. Also, the two empires were not completely unified, but made of dozens of different tribes and peoples conquered by the Aztecs and Incas. The Spaniards took advantage of this by making alliances with those vengeful tribes. But the most deadly weapon the Spanish had was disease. Most Europeans were immune to smallpox, but Native Americans were not. Smallpox wiped out thousands of people in the Americas, including the emperor of Inca himself, thus making them easy to conquer.
