Both areas were conquered by the Spanish conquistadors and both conquistadors used the modern warfare they had in battling the Natives. They used internal problems of Incas and Aztecs and also created alliances with their enemies.

Explanation:

  • Cortés with this small force he managed to occupy the Aztec Empire, which had between 2 and 8 million inhabitants. His victory is due to his ability to form alliances with the Aztec enemies.  
  • He allied himself with the them and succeeded in getting their chief to rebel against the Aztecs and expel the Aztecs from that part of the Yucatán. Cortés learned that Montezuma II an Aztec emperor based in the city of Tenochtitlan. Initially, the Aztecs resisted the advancement of the conquistadors, and later considered Cortés Quetzalcoatl, the legendary king-god, a feathered dragon, who controls lightning and who, according to prophecy, would return one day.
  • When he reached Tenochtitlan, Cortés captured Montezuma II and demanded a large ransom for him. The Aztecs had already begun to rebel, were astonished at the king's obedience, and intended to expel the Spaniards. The first attempt was while Cortés was away.
  • Many Aztec nobles were then killed. The people of Tenochtitlan rebelled and elected a new leader. They besieged the palace, which housed Spaniards and Montezuma.
  • Cortés ordered Montezuma to reason with the people and persuade them to let the Spaniards to the coast. The people did not listen to Montezuma, but mocked and threw stones at him. He was severely injured and Montezuma died a few days later. Cortés occupied one after another the Aztec city.
  • Pizarro was a Spanish conquistador. From Panama, where he sailed with D. de Almagro in 1522, he undertook 1524-27. two expeditions to the Peruvian coast. Named previously by the King of Spain and Roman-German Emperor Charles V. Habsburg as Governor of the lands he conquers, Pizarro departs in 1531 with his brothers Gonzalo, Hernando and Juan and D. de Almagro and a total of 183 people to conquer Peru.
  • Owing to the internal weakness of the Inca state, he conquered Peru in 1533, where he founded the city of Lima two years later. After the suppression of the Incas uprising (1537), a struggle for power ensued among the conquistadors. Pizarro, who killed D. de Almagra in these fights in 1538, fell alone three years later at the hands of his supporters.
