Pissaro and his diseased men and pigs caused an epidemic that may have killed 2 million people.

Cortez was a piker, compared to Pizzaro.

Accidentally infecting people with a pathogen at a time in history when nobody had any knowledge of pathogens or immunity is vastly different from the intentional slaughter and genocide the Aztecs were engaged in.

But that’s an inadvertent disease epidemic, not cold-blooded murder. Remember that in just 2 years, between 1348 and 1350, between 1/2 and 2/3 of the population of Europe perished from the Black Death. It was an inconceivably huge human die-off, almost an extinction event: but it was not murder.
