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.

They died in large population centers, Still tons of people just going about their business out in the sticks.
1: Brazil is Portuguese, not Spanish. That’s 214.3 million people.
2: Immigration/Slavery. Almost the entirety of Argentina is of Spanish/Italian decent.
3: In Mexico for example, some 62% of the population is considered ‘Mestizo’ which is a mix of ‘Amerindian’ and spanish decent. Brazil has a Mulatto population of approx 43%.
