Mexican civilization was destroyed in the 16th century by smallpox, by the worst drought in hundreds of years, and by a devastating hemorraghic fever, known as cocoliztli.

From 1520 to 1620, the Mexican population dropped from 21 million to 1 million.

The collapse extended to New Mexico and Arizona. Perhaps 90% of the population lost to diseases.

Americans settled almost empty land. If it had been inhabited, the story, no doubt, would have been different.

Population did not rebound until 20th century. And now we see population pressures.
