Aztec and Inca
The conquistadors were extremely active during the Age of Exploration which started in the 15th century and continued through the 17th century. :)
The Spanish soldiers made effective use of their military technology against the Aztecs.
Small bands of conquistadors were able to conquer vast territories primarily due to their advanced weaponry, such as firearms and steel swords, which gave them a significant advantage over indigenous populations. Additionally, they often exploited existing rivalries among indigenous groups, forming alliances that facilitated their conquests. The spread of diseases like smallpox, to which native populations had no immunity, also decimated local communities, weakening their resistance. Lastly, the conquistadors were driven by a strong sense of purpose and ambition, motivated by the promise of wealth and glory.
