because the Spanish had better weapons
The Spanish had an advantage in using horses, cannons and guns against the native tribes. Not only were these more effective in war, but since the natives had never seen anything like these weapons, manage to significantly frighten the natives. However, the biggest reason is disease. The Spanish brought smallpox over to a population with no immunity and was sufficiently weakened or eliminated for the Spanish to conquer. This is the reason that the Spanish began importing slaves from Africa to work plantations, because the native populations had been virtually wiped out.
