The Spanish didn't defeat any native Americans. The Spanish had defeated the Aztecs by forming a revolution with the Aztec citizens. This was successful because the Aztec government was cruel. In that way they nearly got five hundred thousand Aztec citizens to fight for them.
The native Americans that the Spaniards encountered were "beaten" and by the first answer, it says as much. With a superior military force including guns & horses, the Spanish basically overwhelmed the native populations they encountered in the New World.

∙ 12y agoWay back in the late 1400's when Columbus mistakingly sailed to Central America(thinking it was Asia), he had sailed with the spanish from Spain and when they got to land and native Americans who were living there, they mistreated and enslaved them. Since the Spanish were ahead of them in society, had guns, more trained soldiers, and brought European dieases with them, the native Americans were too weakened to fight and defend themselves and their land. Millions of them died.
Columbus called them Indians because he thought he was in the indies islands off the coast of East Asia.
