In the 16th and 17th centuries, the Spanish conquest of South and Central America had a number of significant effects. In the Americas, old and distinctive civilizations were destroyed then gradually replaced by a Spanish-American hybrid of sorts. For Spain itself, the material wealth of its conquests turned out to be a curse, as Spain failed to modernize along with the rest of Europe and thereby became, by the 19th century, very nearly a third-world power.
Both regions had a rather-large native population known as Amerindians. This region also had three advanced civilizations, known as Aztecs, Maya and Inca.
After the conquest of the Americas was consummated by the Spanish, all three civilizations were completely wiped out and up to 95% of the original population died to European-brought diseases, being smallpox the most virulent and deadly. The Amerindian populations that remained became servants or outright slaves to the conquerors.
Spain once had a huge and wealthy set of colonies in the Western Hemisphere. They were pioneers in exploring vast areas in both North and South America. Their empire slowly ebbed away, however, their impact remains to this day. Most of every nation from Mexico and southward speak Spanish and are Roman Catholic nations.
