Detailed explanation-1: -The conquistador’s four major advantages were horses, steel armor, gunpowder, and resistance to their own diseases. Horses were unknown in the Americas, and no war animals were used by native populations for fighting or transportation.
Detailed explanation-2: -While the Inca ultimately did not consider the Spanish explorers to be gods, the confusion helped Pizarro to establish himself in the region and prevented the Inca from pushing him and other conquistadors out of the area sooner. The Inca were led by Atahualpa who ruled over the Inca people as an emperor.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Spanish were able to defeat the Aztec and the Inca not only because they had horses, dogs, guns, and swords, but also because they brought with them germs that made many native Americans sick. Diseases like smallpox and measles were unknown among the natives; therefore, they had no immunity to them.
