The purposeful ethnic cleansing of a group of people from that ethnic group.

so, yes?
Massacres were commonplace in every war at the time, it is only called genocide because the conquistadors were white and the victims were brown.

So no.

No. It was incredibly brutal, but the goal was to conquer, not exterminate. The fact that 95% ended up dying off was mostly due to disease spread without even their knowledge.

It wasn't, at least not intentionally.
The spaniards conquered them to keep them as servants.

Was just about to post this.
The conquistadors certainly mistreated and led many of them to die, but they didn't show up and say "all right lads, let's erase these brown people from existence"
