The Maya actually saw the "end" of their civilization. The Maya still are a large community, about 40 million people. This is only a small change, since there are millions more in Los Angeles.

When did the Europeans kill the Mayans?

The decline of the Maya civilization began well before European contact, primarily due to internal factors like warfare and environmental changes. However, when Europeans, particularly the Spanish, arrived in the early 16th century, they engaged in conquests that severely impacted the Maya. Notably, the Spanish conquest of the Yucatán Peninsula began in 1517, leading to violent conflicts and the eventual subjugation of many Maya communities. The effects of colonization, including disease and warfare, further decimated the Maya population over the following centuries.
