The same happens with spanish colonisation of America.
It was just buisness as usual: The one with the bigger stick came and took it all.....like the indigenous people had been doing for thousends of years.
Indeed, the conquest of Mexico was only posible because all its neighbours hate them with passion for beeing an imperialistic and warmongering bunch of duchbags, and thougt the spanish were a better alternative ( a big mistake, in my opinion, but understandable).
As for the Incas, they just had a blody hell of a civil war when the spaniards arrived (and of course the waves of desease that preceeded them, erasing up to 90% of population in some cases, and causing what we only can describe as an apocaliptic scenario), where people were slaughtered day in and day out, without the intervention of any white conquerer. (By the way, the Inca imperium, was not build with nice words and diplomacy, it was build over mountains of corpses, using, more or less, the SAME methods that the spaniards used centurys later to conquer them)
As for the rest, they were mostly loose tribes or confederations, who hade no problem raiding their neighbours if they needed it or just were in the mood.......
Was it nice what my spanish ancestors did to my indigenous ancestors? Hell no! But it was just the way things were handeled then.......we cannot judge actions of the past with modern views.........
