The aztec empire was conquered by less than 800 Spaniards, it was an empire of several millions people. Spain did not conquer the aztecs by it self, in fact it was the natives who destroyed the Aztec Empire, yes the same natives destroyed and defeated the Aztecs.
Why? simple the aztecs were oppressing and killing other tribes so when cortez, the Spanish captain tells them to help them to defeat the aztecs it means help me and we will get you free.
The Spanish did not conquered everything in 5 years, it took them several decades to conquer Mexico or Peru and Bolivia. In fact the local authorities help them since the Spanish were outnumbered a few thousands against several millions of natives. It is only after 260 years that Spain can hold most of America
Now you do not consider Spain never had the ability to defeat the natives because you think the Spanish sent million of people as army, the reality was Spain only lead the Indians to defeat their oppressors, and christianity was much better than human sacrifice or idolatry for the natives, in fact most people still remain christians after 200 years of independence.
