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?

People can procreate really quickly if thyr don’t have to compete for land. Also, the growing population from Europe was encouraged to go there. You could get land for cheap or free in many cases and get a much better live for yourself if you were willing to move to the new world.
Also, people populated South America from other countries. Brazil is mostly Portuguese.
