True. Smallpox significantly weakened both the Aztec and Inca empires, as it spread rapidly among their populations who had no prior exposure or immunity to the disease. The high mortality rates caused by smallpox contributed to social disruption and diminished the empires' ability to resist European conquest. This outbreak played a crucial role in the Spanish colonization of the Americas.
