Answer:

The Spanish conquistadors were able to conquer Native American empires by spreading diseases to the Native Americans (have no immunity). Hernán Cortés was one of the many Spanish conquistadors, he landed on the coast of Mexico, began his exploring towards the capital of Aztec empire with 600 men, horses and cannons, to Tenochtitlán. He had a translator and advisor named Malinche who helped them explore. All of those things were able to help them conquer Native American empires.
