Like I've stated before i'm really no historian but it is my belief that the Natives u speak of the Aztecs? The ones the spanish conquered with 200 conquistadors? They were wiped out from one disease i believe Small Pox it wasn't a flurry of various ones it was one huge epidemic. And basically dureing this time when a Huge percentage of the population was dieing the spanish rode into the capitol with words of peace rideing on animals that frightened the natives killed the Leadership and conquered a nation in one fell swoop.
But even now look at the fear our own government has of Small Pox. It is vacinating the military and is formulating a program to vacinate all americans even though it is estimated that 65000 people nationwide will die from the vacination alone. This is not a disease you Grow a resistance to without a major epidemic. If i remeber what little history i know the europeen population was wiped out like 5 times from epidemics. The last being the Bubonic. I'm sure all my facts here are not completely straight and i would love for someone to fix any errors as my memory is pretty ****ty
