Not really. Diseases did most of the job. The Spaniards where not really interested in killing millions of people that could be useful. Sometimes the Europeans didn't even need to arrive at a place to exterminate a population, like the people of the Mississippi valley, an advanced civilization with big towns and agriculture, diseases arrived and collapsed that society, by the time the Spanish people arrived only empty towns remained, by the time the French and British arrived nothing was left.
