    There's multiple reasons why the conquistadors were so successful in colonizing Central America, and some of them are:

    - They were seen as Gods;

    At the beginning, the Spanish settlers were seen by the natives as Gods, and this was mainly due to their white skin, and the way they came with their boats.

    - Possessed superior weaponry;

    The Spanish had gunpowder and guns, as well as cannons, while the natives did not had any fire weapons.

    - Made cleaver alliances;

    They used the situation of tribes hating each other, so they made alliances with some of them which served them very well.

    - Brought diseases;

    The native people were not immune to certain diseases the Europeans brought with them, so they were dying from seeming harmless things for European standards.
