These diseases including: smallpox, measles, tuberculosis, and other plagues decimated the native population. 
In 1518 when Hernando Cortez led 600 men through Mexico, he was met with heavy resistance from the Aztec people. In their time trying to colonize the area his army released smallpox upon the natives. Entirely destroying their resistance. The small pox epidemic released on the natives in turn made it possible for the Spanish to successfully inhabit the area.  Similarly, in the Mayan areas of Mexico over 95% of the population died only a few years after first contact with the Spanish. ]]> 2017-09-01 12:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/athomas2019/mpblzlhmr2fz/wish/184185705 cbradley2019 https://padlet.com/athomas2019/mpblzlhmr2fz/wish/184186655 This map demonstrates the environmental differences between the regions, and how the Natives utilized the diverse environment.]]> 2017-09-01 12:52:25 UTC https://padlet.com/athomas2019/mpblzlhmr2fz/wish/184186655 jmorehead2019 https://padlet.com/athomas2019/mpblzlhmr2fz/wish/184188021 The first Spanish colonists brought by Columbus on his second voyage, tried to enslave the Indians on the islands of the Caribbeans to find gold.This had little success.In 1518 a Military expedition of 600 men was led by Hernando Cortez into Mexico.

Many natives shifted from a nomadic to agriculture lifestyle due to the introduction of valuable crops such as sugar cane which required strenuous labor.
