Question

How were the Spanish able to conquer two great empires with only a handful of soldiers?
First, the Spanish had superior military equipment. They were protected by steel armor and
had guns. The Aztecs and Incas relied on clubs, bows and arrows, and spears. Also, the
Native Americans had never seen horses. They were frightened by mounted Spanish soldiers.
In addition, the Native Americans did not fight as hard as they might have. The Aztecs
hesitated to attack at first because they thought the Spanish might be gods. The Incas were
weak from fighting among themselves over control of their government.
Finally, many Indians died from European diseases, such as smallpox, measles, and
influenza. Some historians believe that disease alone would have ensured Spanish victory
over the Indians.
