First the Pope told the Spaniards that the people were not human, but a kind of animal and thus had no soul. So it was sanctioned by their religious leader. In America, this was finally sorted out in court in the late 1800's that the people were indeed human.
Second they had guns which greatly slanted the odds in their favor.
They never really tried to enslave the Native Americans. Th Spanish did use Native Americans as slaves in mines and missions. The African slave trade solved all labor problems.

the native americans were weakened by various diseases that were brought by the europeans e.g. small pox, measles and chicken pox the europeans used superior weapon , had helmets for protection during the fight , and also had horses which the native americans had neverf seen before, the native americans thought that all that was taking place was a sign of the end of the world . there was division and therfore disunity among the native americans, this made the europeans conquer them easily due to their division.
Sometimes the Spanish made captured native Americans into slaves
The Spanish conquerors brought several factors that the indigenous Americans were unprepared for, including advanced weaponry such as firearms and steel swords, which greatly outmatched traditional weapons. They also introduced horses, which revolutionized warfare and transportation. Additionally, the spread of diseases like smallpox had a devastating impact on Native populations, who had no immunity to these new illnesses. These factors combined to create a significant advantage for the Spanish in their conquest of the Americas.
Cooperation with Native Americans
Several factors did not contribute to the Spanish conquest of Native American populations, including the lack of advanced military technology among the indigenous peoples, who primarily relied on traditional weapons. Additionally, the internal divisions and rivalries among Native American tribes often hindered unified resistance against the Spanish. Cultural misunderstandings and the initial perception of the Spanish as potential allies also played a role in undermining native resistance. Furthermore, the spread of European diseases, which devastated indigenous populations, was not a direct factor of Spanish military action but significantly weakened their ability to resist conquest.
After the Spanish arrived in the Caribbean islands, many of the local Native Americans were enslaved, killed, or died from diseases brought by the Europeans. The Spanish also forced them to convert to Christianity and disrupted their traditional way of life. The population of Native Americans declined significantly due to these factors.
Some Native Americans joined the Spanish against the Aztecs due to a combination of factors, including longstanding grievances against Aztec rule, which often involved tribute and warfare. The Spanish offered these groups an opportunity to ally with a powerful force against their oppressors, promising them freedom and support in their struggle. Additionally, the desire for new alliances and the prospect of gaining power or territory motivated some tribes to collaborate with the Spanish during the conquest.
The Spanish Conquest of the Inca Empire was the 1532 Battles of Cajamarca, under Francisco Pizarro and their native allies.
