Content: We're talking about what made these some of the most significant wars in human history. There are two main things that make these events so significant: the diseases and the cultural impact. Over 24 million people died due to exposure to smallpox and other diseases, brought by the Spanish conquerors. This was the first time natives had seen European disease, and as you can imagine, it was pretty gruesome. This meant that the Americas were no longer safe from certain illnesses—and that's huge from a biological perspective. Then, there's the cultural impact. Today, Latin Americans are known for being Spanish-speaking, Catholic, and for loving sangria. Guess where they picked that up from? The conquering also caused Spain to become the wealthiest state in Europe, and caused Spain to have the largest amount of gold.
