Answer:

I think the conquistadors had a arrogant or superior attitude toward the Aztec because the conquistadors were living in a much more advanced world. Why advanced, well the conquistadors thought they were more advanced and better because they had clothes, ships, advanced weapons. I have a perfect example of why the conquistadors thought all this. A Mexican quote says "le vendieron espejitos" meaning, they sold them mirrors, this goes perfect because the conquistadors sold simple mirrors to the natives for lots of gold. Referring to the natives as idiots, like the conquistadors thought about them
