Most Spanish conquistadors were already looking for the riches of the New World; namely gold and silver. The only two conquistadors who actually conquered Native American empires were Cortes (Aztecs) and Francisco Pizarro (Incas). Most of the remaining conquistadors failed miserably, dying of tropical diseases, mutiny and hostile natives.
