      The central Mexican indigenous empires were obliterated by a combination of civil war and disease before any sizable European colonizer populations had moved in. Cortez “conquered” the Aztecs in the sense that the remnants of the remnants of what were left surrendered to him as the most heavily armed surviving army.

      The Europeans then brutalized the survivors beyond imagination, but the vast majority of the deaths occurred before then.

      Kinda yes. Even the SoP thing was mainly pushed by one guy, otherwise the americas would be nearly empty.
