Cortés and Pizarro both conquered whole empires while looking for riches. Cortéses lust for gold helped him conquer the aztecs, while Pizarros helped him conquer the Incas. Cortés conquered the Aztecs because of his horses and dogs. Pizarro conquered the Incas because of his deadly weapons. Cortés allied with the tlaxcalans for backup. Pizarro, however, captured and executioned the Inca leader, Atahuallpa. Both made a major impact on the empires they conquered.
Cortes and Pizzaro achieved success because they completed several strategic moves in defeating the Inca and the Aztecs. They both came from Spain hungry for money and gold. They brought European dieases and surripeor weapons, such as guns and cannons. Cortes had ,at first, befriended the Aztecs but later slaughtered them. He brought horses and dieases. Pizzaro attacked the Incas in an during a vital time. The Incas wher4e expinerincing Civil War and small pox. The two men where able to defat the kingdoms becuase they created false trust, threated and enslaved. These two men are examples of the Spanish greed and crulety.

I think that a similarity between pizzaro and cortes is that they both explored a foreign land. Another similarity is that they both had an extreme advantage over the people they conquered. The only difference i can think of is that pizzaro explored the incas and cortes explored the maya and aztec
Cortes and Pizzaro's conquests of the Aztec and the Inca,respectivly, were very simaler. For example Cortes and Pizzaro were both searching for gold and were on a mission for god and glory. They both also won because of there horses, guns, and there immunity to smallpox.
I think that they both went for greed and gold becude they wanted to get rich. They could not go back becuse the king would kill them. They conqued becuse they had superior wepons and anmils.they also wanted to lead it for gold becuse they wenrt the richeset.
To similarities between the conqestadors is that they both had great adventages with the Inca and Aztec people. Anthor similaritie is that they both had guns and dogs. A differnce is that they travled to different places. Similare reasons are that they went for gold and riches. They over rolled the Incas and the Aztecs.
Cortez and Pizzaro were both familiar with the land. They both went to the Americas for riches. The most common thing about them is they both conquered great indian empires.The Aztecs and Inca.
Cortes and pizzaro's conguests wre both alike and different. One way was they both where in it for the gold and silver. Another one is that they both were kinda cruel to the slaves and workers. Which in my opinion is not cool.They wre also kinda different lik Cortes was going to Spain and Pizzaro was going to South America.As you can see both Cortes and pizzaro were alike and different in many ways.
Cortes and Pizarro both led voyages because they were seeking riches in the western land. They also didn't care about what they did to the people or the land. They were both greedy and irresponsible to their crew.

cortes and pizarro both set sail to find riches

Cortes and Pizzaro had many similarities and some differences and i am gonna tell u some. One of the similarities is that they both took over two empires just to get there riches. They also both knew that they had big advantages over both of the empires like having weapons and armour and all that jazz. The two differences were that they took over two different empires in two different countries. The information was pretty godly and all that jazz if you know what i mean jelly bean.
There are many similarities between Cortes and Pizzaro. Both men were from Spain. Both of them lead their missions to find gold and money. Both were recepted nicely by the Indians even though they ended up being mean to them.
Some of the differences were huge. For example, Cortes killed most of the Indians by force while Pizzaro killed them with disease. Another difference is that Cortes was not supposed to be on a mission and Pizzaro was allowed. So, they were similar but different.
Some similarities between Pizarro and Cortez are that they both lead armys acrossed the sea, and they both pretended to be friends with the indians and they backstabed them.

Hey Mr. Crowell...who do you think the outcome of the Revolutionary War would have been if we did not conquer Bugoyne's army? OR, if we did not capture Fort Ticonderogga?
Oh, and one more thing, if Hessians would not have been with the British, and the French not with America, and also no Indian alliances what-so-ever, what do you think would have happened?
