Even the Spaniards did not slaughter "millions of Native Americans". They did not intend to, they intended to enslave these "lesser heathen" people.
But Smallpox and other diseases the Europeans brought to America was the real killer. That's why the Spaniards started bringing slaves from Africa. They needed labor to replace all the dead Native Americans. The Africans the Arabs sold them were resistant to disease.
More recently, between 1860 and 1890, the white mans diseases killed 90% of the Native Hawai'ian population. (These numbers should give you a better idea of what really happened to the Native Americans) The U.S.A occupied Hawai'i because they were afraid Japan would - as Russia, France and Britain had done in the past.
