In the  core, we have been learning about ancient civilizations in the Americas. We learned that the fall of the Aztecs was similar to the fall of the Incas. First of all, both of these civilizations were conquered by Spaniards. The Aztecs was conquered by a group of Spaniards led by Hernan Cortes. Cortes conquered the Aztecs by killing the leader and stealing their gold. The Inca empire was conquered by a man named Fransisco Pizarro. Pizarro conquered the Incas by killing the leader and stealing their jewels 

Another way they were similar was the Spaniards brought new disease to the empires. When the Spaniards came to conquer the Aztecs, they had a ton of diseases that spread very quickly. It killed most of the Aztecs which lead to their fall. The Spaniards who came to conquer the Incas also had diseases that spread very quickly. It also killed most of the Incas which lead to their fall. Both Spaniards wanted to steal all their gold to bring back.
