I never understood this. From what I was taught in history class, masses of native north & south americans died because of European diseases. And for each latin american country, of course there are large african and native descents, but from what I read each country has a massive part of Spanish heritage.
Nowadays, how many humans live between El Paso and Ushuaia? More than half a billion? Yet Spain is only a country of 40m people. How is this possible?

Spain isn’t the only source of immigrants to Spanish-speaking countries. As with the US and Canada, people from all over the world have come to Central and South America.
Also, not every single native American died of disease. Tons of them, but not all.
