The children of Europeans and Indigenous people in the Americas are often referred to as mestizos in Latin America, particularly in countries like Mexico and parts of Central America. This term encompasses individuals of mixed European and Indigenous ancestry, representing a significant demographic in many regions. The cultural and social identity of mestizos varies widely, reflecting a blend of both Indigenous and European heritages. Their history is marked by complex interactions, including issues of identity, belonging, and social dynamics within the broader context of colonialism and post-colonial societies.

The journey of explorers and settlers to the Americas had profound effects on both the indigenous peoples and Europeans. For the Americas, it led to significant cultural exchanges, but also devastating consequences such as disease, displacement, and the destruction of native societies. For Europeans, the discovery of the New World opened up new trade opportunities, resources, and territories, fueling economic growth and further colonization efforts. Ultimately, this exchange reshaped global dynamics and initiated a period of intense exploration and exploitation.
Europeans were the most modernized, powerful, and wealthy of any people. They had the most destructive weapons: guns. When they showed up in the Americas or Africa, where these people have never even seen guns, they usually dominated without a fight. However, once the Europeans started trading their weapons with these indigenous people, revolts started growing. Europeans also had this idea of Social Darwinism, in which they believed Europeans were the superior race.
