Just for everyone's fyi, When Cortez ravaged through the Aztecs that doesn't really count as a genocide. it was a war. Doesn't matter who's side was right. I think genocide has more to do with a majority trying to wipe out a largely defenseless minority.
I agree it was not genocide because Cortez and Pisarro did not attempt to wipe out a particular ethnic group, but neither can it easily be called a war, because the Spanish side were generally the only side actually using force.
It was an invasion of the worst possible kind.
