The Human Story - The New World Falls to the Old: thoughts and reflections

          During the 15th and 16th centuries native american civilizations would come to a close with the arrival of Europeans in the new world. The Spanish were the first to create a dramatic impact on the natives of the new world. Their goal was to conquer and pillage the land. With the overthrowing of the Aztec empire the Spanish destroyed the cultural transitions of the race as well as appointed themselves at the top of the economic and political systems. The spanish also did the same with the Incan civilization. The Europeans also brought with them epidemics that killed off many of the native people. These diseases were then morphed and brought back to Europe and spread throughout the whole of Africa, Asia, and Europe.
