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.
