One negative consequence of the Spanish colonization of Middle America on the Middle American Indians was the widespread violence, oppression, and exploitation inflicted upon the indigenous populations. The Spanish conquistadors and colonizers often engaged in brutal tactics such as mass killings, enslavement, forced labor, and destruction of indigenous cultures and societies in their quest for wealth and power. This led to the decimation of many indigenous communities, loss of land and resources, and lasting trauma and resentment among the surviving populations. Additionally, diseases introduced by the Europeans, such as smallpox, also had devastating effects on the indigenous populations, leading to high mortality rates and further weakening their resistance to colonization.
