What impact did imperial Spain have on the americans

The Spanish sent Conquistadors to the Americas, mostly South America. These were Spanish men looking to make it big in the New World. They enslaved the natives and forced them to work in mines. Because Conquistadors were men who didn't bring women along with them, they also intermarried with the natives. In addition, many natives were killed by European diseases they hadn't previously been exposed to, such as small pox and the common cold.
