Note the Americas already had civil and external wars long before the Spanish arrived.
When you know the full history of the Conquistadors and their relationship with the local population, things are not so clear.
For example, the Spanish:
- didn't teach locals to do mass ritual sacrifice and throw the bodies down the steps of the temples
- didn't tell one of the local kings to burn his empire's library to erase any history before his reign
- didn't force their "local allies" to march on the capitals of the empires.
