How were the spanish able to conquer the native americans with relative ease?

There are three main reasons why the Spanish were able to conquer and colonize the Americas: Disease. ... While conquistadors like Hernan Cortes in Mexico and Francisco Pizarro had great weapons and strategies, their greatest ally was disease. Better weaponry.

i think the correct answer is:

byzantine icon- served as religious symbols in christian churches and were valued and respected for their beauty

illuminated manuscript-preserved classical greek and roman knowledge and were the first bound books

they remained in rural areas and worked at jobs such as lumbering or farming.
