Smallpox had a devastating impact on the Aztec population following its introduction by Spanish conquistadors in the early 16th century. The disease spread rapidly and caused significant mortality, with estimates suggesting that up to 50% of the population may have died from the outbreak. This demographic collapse weakened the Aztec society, contributing to their inability to resist Spanish conquest and leading to the eventual fall of the Aztec Empire. The epidemic also disrupted social structures and diminished the capacity for organized resistance against the invaders.
