The Spanish contacts and conquests had devastating effects on Indian societies. Many indigenous populations were decimated by disease, such as smallpox, introduced by the Spanish. Native cultures and ways of life were disrupted, traditional land and resources were seized, and forced labor systems, such as the encomienda and repartimiento, were imposed. This led to the decline of native populations, loss of sovereignty, and cultural assimilation.
the long term effects on columbus's "discovery" of the native american people were that he killed most of them and there is not that many or at all, alive. he wiped them out with all his soldiers and disease.

the introducton of new diseases such as smallpox, measles and diphtheria were the main effects
Disease, particularly smallpox, killed a significant number of Native Americans when the Spanish arrived because the Indigenous populations had no immunity to these new diseases. They had not been previously exposed to them, while Europeans had built up some level of resistance over centuries. This lack of immunity allowed diseases brought by the Spanish to spread rapidly and ravage Native American communities.
Spanish explorers had a significant and often devastating impact on Native American populations through violence, disease, forced labor, and cultural suppression. These encounters led to the decimation of many Native American communities, the loss of their land and resources, and the introduction of new diseases for which they had no immunity. This legacy continues to shape indigenous communities in the Americas today.
African slaves were brought in to replace the Native West Indians who died off working on Spanish plantations. This was due to the devastating effects of diseases brought by Europeans and harsh working conditions in the plantations.
Preying upon native species competing with native species for resources displacing native species :)

Antarctica is the only continent without a native population or official language. Spanish is not an indigenous language to Antarctica, so there are no Spanish-speaking communities there.
death to many native Americans and arrival of Europeans
Native American communities are sovereign nations with the authority to regulate environmental problems.
European disease had a devastating effect on the indigenous population of Native Americans. Smallpox, ravaged whole communities and is thought to have been a much more direct cause of the precipitous decline Indian population.
