Mexican Americans are a mixture of the Spanish Conquistadores (Conquerors) and the Indigenous tribes that first roamed the Americas such as the Aztecs, Mayans, Incas, etc.Mexican Americans are individuals whose families originate in Mexico. Mexican Americans can either be people who immigrated from Mexico themselves or whose ancestors immigrated.
The arrival of the Europeans did not affect the native americans in Mexico.
The Spanish American War did not involve Mexico.
The Hispanos of New Mexico are people of Spanish or Indo-Hispanic descent. The explorer Don Juan de Oñate from Mexico City to New Mexico with 500 Spanish settlers and soldiers around 1598.

Short term: Killing or enslaving of most of the Native Americans (Aztec and Mayan civilizations) already settled in Mexico. Increase in wealth for the Spanish Crown due to exploitation of mineral resources - specially silver - in Mexico. Colonization of lands previously owned by Native Americans by Spanish settlers. Long term: Adoption of many Spanish traditions into "New Spain" territories, such as religion and language.
