The Spanish had superior weapons--their rifles and iron swords against the arrows and stone-bladed swords of the Native Americans. And something else which is too often ignored is the fact that the Spanish made use of Tribal or I should say National rivalries existing between the Aztec and Inca, who were in power in pre-colombian times, and those groups they had conquered or threatened.

And ofcourse there were these European diseases like small pox or malaria which the Amerindians had no immunity against.
