Unit 2 – Population and Migration
Topic 2.3
How did Spain's conquest of Latin America during the Age of Exploration impact its population composition?
An influx of Spanish settlers led to a mestizo (mixed) population.
The indigenous population grew significantly as they were adopted into Spanish communities without any mixing or intermarriage occurring.
It led to mass emigration of Latin Americans, reducing local populations drastically.
It caused an increase in indigenous populations due to improved healthcare facilities brought by the Spaniards.
