The spanish brought with them great weapons. They also attacked at a time of political unrest in the Aztec Empire. But their greatest weapon, the one that brought them the great victory, was the diseases they brought to the new world. "The Spanish conquest did not destroy Aztec culture, nor did it wipe out the Aztec people. Rather, the Aztec territory became a colony of the Spanish empire, called "New Spain."

4 Possible Reasons For The Collapse of the Mayan Civilization - 0 views

  • Most recently, scientists have turned their work towards the possibility of disease. The climate was humid and would have supported a host of parasitic activity. As the Mayan civilization grew and spread, disturbances would have occurred which could have placed the people in contact with parasites that would promote disease and death. If this were the case no member of the Mayans would have been spared. As with many diseases that attacked the human body, death can be a slow process dependent upon the strength and health of the individual attacked.

  • European Diseases - The Spaniards carried diseases that killed the Aztecs. As the Aztecs and the Spaniards fought in Tenochtitlan, the small pox epidemic began to kill the people. The Aztecs had no immunities to any of the European diseases. In 1518 there were about 25 million Mexicans. Fifty years later, less than 3 million Native Americans survived.

      Wow that is interesting, I can't believe that small pox killed the Aztec's and so many of them. That also reminds me of Spanish wars the Americans have been in and many got killed from small pox. Looks like Spanish could have trouble in years of big small pox breakdowns.

  • The ancient Maya  perceived health as “balance”, whereas illness and disease were “imbalance”. Balance, however, was influenced by season and varied by age, gender, personality and exposure to environmental temperature extremes. A central medical-related theme held that balance was effected favorably or adversely by diet.

  • A hemorrhagic fever, which was called Cocoliztli,
  • Two epidemics of Cocoliztli, occurring in 1545 and 1576 respectively, killed a total of 13 million people.
  • Symptoms ranged from headache and fever to dementia, nodule formation, and bleeding from all orifices before eventual death. Interestingly, the more severe symptoms of Cocoliztli only affected the native inhabitants of Mesoamerica;

  • here is no evidence supporting any single explanation for this dramatic population loss. The severe decrease may have been caused by decline in agriculture, social or political issues, or natural causes such as drought to name a few. Whatever the cause, it is certain that the Maya civilization had collapsed.
  • While there are obvious differences between the collapses during the Terminal Classic Period and the sixteenth century, both occurred during similar environmental conditions. Evidence indicates that during the years before both population declines, the region was facing a period of severe drought. As indicated by data from tree rings, a long drought happened from AD 700 to AD 900 that stretched as far north as the Southwestern United States

  • Two epidemics of Cocoliztli, occurring in 1545 and 1576 respectively, killed a total of 13 million people.

  • pinpoint what caused this occurrence. The data indicate that disease may have been a causative factor in the Maya collapse, though the identity of the disease itself is a mystery

  • Peregrinus maidis
  • The insect, Peregrinus maidis, is proposed to have been blown great distances and is known to wipe out entire crops (Brewbaker 1979). It is only deadly in places where maize is cultivated all year long. The spreading of the maize mosaic virus (MMV) can be noted by monumental date inscriptions from southern lowlands Mayan centres (Brewbaker 1979). The last inscribed date at the site known as Palenque comes in the year 799 while on the other hand; the final date at Piedras Negras comes in the year 795 A.D. (Brewbaker 1979).
  • In the humidity of tropical areas, the cultivation of maize is never free from pests and crop diseases. Pests include borers, worms of all natures and the weevils who harm stored grains (Brewbaker 1979). On the other hand, viruses and diseases that negatively affect the harvest include rusts, blights, stalk and ear rots and downy mildews (Brewbaker 1979).
