Beginning in the late 1400s, the Spanish began to explore lands in the Americas. Besides bringing new products and animals, the explorers also brought diseases to America. These were diseases that were new to the American Indians. Hundreds of thousands of American Indians died because they were exposed to these new illnesses. Also, the explorers had better militaryweapons which allowed them to defeat the American Indians in battle. Finally, the explorers started fights between some tribes against others which led to separation and disunity between the American Indian tribes. This allowed the Spanish to take control of the tribes.
