The Spanish had superior weaponry such as guns, cannons, and steel swords compared to the Aztecs and Incas who primarily used obsidian weapons. The Spanish also had horses, which the indigenous peoples had never encountered before, giving them a military advantage. Additionally, the Spanish had the assistance of indigenous allies who were enemies of the Aztec and Inca Empires.
The Spanish had superior military technology such as guns, cannons, and steel armor, which gave them a significant advantage over the Inca who primarily used traditional weapons like spears and slingshots. Additionally, the Spanish exploited political divisions within the Inca Empire to gain local allies and weaken Inca resistance. The spread of disease, particularly smallpox, also decimated Inca populations and further weakened their ability to resist Spanish conquest.
Jared Diamond argues that the Spanish advanced to steel swords because they had easier access to sources of iron ore and coal needed to produce steel. In contrast, the Inca lacked these natural resources and therefore continued to use bronze for tools and weapons. Additionally, the Spanish had more exposure to technologies and ideas from other cultures through trade and conquest, leading to technological advancements.
The clash between Aztec and Spanish cultures occurred due to differences in religion, technology, and societal norms. The Spanish saw the Aztec religion as pagan and sought to convert or eradicate it, while the Aztecs viewed the Spanish as invaders disrupting their way of life. The Spanish also had superior weapons and military tactics, leading to the downfall of the Aztec Empire in 1521.
The question of the weapon's material can provide valuable information about the time period, technology level, and potential suspects involved in a crime or conflict. Stone weapons were used in ancient times, while steel weapons indicate a more modern setting. This distinction can help investigators narrow down their search for the weapon and potential perpetrators.

Cortez and Pizarro were able to conquer the Incas and Aztecs fairly easily due to several factors. These factors include superior military technology such as firearms, steel weapons, and armor, as well as the strategic use of horses, which were unfamiliar to the indigenous peoples. Additionally, the Spanish benefited from alliances with indigenous groups who were enemies of the Aztecs and Incas, as well as the devastating impact of European diseases like smallpox, which decimated the native populations. The Spanish also exploited internal divisions and political instability within the Aztec and Inca empires to their advantage.
They had a much better technology, steel armor, firearms, steel edged weapons and horses.
There were several reasons that the spanish were able to defeat the Aztecs, and these applied to the Incas as well. The Spanish had much more advanced technology than the Aztecs, such as gunpowder, horses, cannons, and steel weapons (which were stronger than the Aztec obsidian blades). The Spanish also had the advantage of surprise, as they were welcomed into the Aztec empire as honored guests but abruptly betrayed and slaughtered many Aztec citizens before they were driven from the city. Third, European diseases such as smallpox took their toll on the Aztec people. Finally, the Aztecs did not continue and finish defeating the Spanish after La Noche Triste, the only major Aztec victory during the conquest. The Spanish survivors were thus able to regroup and return with more soldiers.

The Spanish had more advanced technology. Their guns had little effect, but frightened the Central American people. Their superior steel swords played a hand in this, too. In addition, the Spanish were in possession of horses, new and intimidating beasts to the Natives. But their greatest weapon of all was a microscopic one-- disease. Before the small group of Spanish settlers that conquered the Natives, another group came before them. An African slave transmitted a disease that wiped out about 60-90% of the Native population. The Spanish were unaffected by this because of their tens of thousands of years of contact with domestic animals, and the survivors of the Black Plague passed on genetic resistance to these diseases. This can all be found in the book Guns, Germs, and Steel.
168 Spaniards attacked the imperial army of the Incas.

The Spanish had a technological advantage, having steel weapons, guns, and horses. Many Native Americans had never seen these before, and were terrified of them. Also, the two empires were not completely unified, but made of dozens of different tribes and peoples conquered by the Aztecs and Incas. The Spaniards took advantage of this by making alliances with those vengeful tribes. But the most deadly weapon the Spanish had was disease. Most Europeans were immune to smallpox, but Native Americans were not. Smallpox wiped out thousands of people in the Americas, including the emperor of Inca himself, thus making them easy to conquer.
