Answer 2

The massacre or enslavement of millions of Native Americans and the colonization of these lands for more than 300 years. It also meant these subjugated peoples had to adopt the language, religion and culture of their new conquerors.

Answer 3

There is a common misconception that Cortes alone annihilated the Aztecs with superior weaponry and a false belief that he was mistaken for the god Quetzalcoatl; the truth is the Aztecs knew he was a man, but he made an alliance with the Tlaxcalan nation, who were bitter enemies of the Aztecs and provided more than 100,000 warriors to help Cortes during his conquest. Also, when contact was made, inadvertently someone from Cortes' crew started an epidemic of smallpox that utterly ravaged the Aztec homeland; it is stated that from a population of 20 million in 1518, after 1521 there were only 2 million people living in Mexico. After such event, the Spanish found relatively easy to mow down the remaining Aztec forces.
