The blending of Europeans and Indigenous peoples is often referred to as "mestizaje" in Latin America. This term specifically describes the cultural and racial mixing that occurred during and after the European colonization of the Americas. Mestizos, individuals of mixed European and Indigenous ancestry, have played a significant role in shaping the social, cultural, and political landscapes of many Latin American countries.
Mestizo nationality refers to individuals in Latin America who are of mixed Indigenous and European descent, primarily Spanish. This term is significant in countries like Mexico, where Mestizos make up a large portion of the population and represent a blend of cultural influences. The concept of Mestizaje is central to national identity in many Latin American countries, reflecting a history of colonization and cultural fusion. Mestizos often navigate complex identities that encompass both Indigenous heritage and colonial legacies.

The Spaniards significantly influenced ancient Mesoamerica through the introduction of new technologies, agricultural practices, and livestock, which transformed local economies and lifestyles. They also brought Christianity, leading to the widespread conversion of indigenous populations and the establishment of missions. Additionally, the Spanish imposed their political systems and social hierarchies, resulting in profound cultural changes and the eventual decline of many indigenous civilizations. This era marked a complex blending of cultures, known as mestizaje, which shaped the region's identity.
