  • 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.

  • 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

  • As is widely known, the Mayan people saw a significant loss in population starting around AD 770. There is no conclusive evidence indicating one specific cause of this collapse; most
