I remember reading a book on the Astec empire and its fall by the spanish was a sum of perfectly aligned random events, based on their system of beliefs. They could have resisted the invasion and records by spanish soldiers of the time on how the astecs were fierce and fearless warriors exist.
The astecs just stopped resisting at some point and either got assimilated or slaughtered and their civilization wiped out.
