The two native peoples treated cruelly by Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro were the Aztecs and the Incas, respectively. Cortés led the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, subjecting the indigenous people to violence, enslavement, and disease, which decimated their population. Similarly, Pizarro's conquest of the Inca Empire involved brutal tactics, including the capture and execution of Inca leader Atahualpa, leading to significant suffering and loss for the Inca people. Both conquests resulted in the destruction of their cultures and societies.
