Best Answer

During the wars of conquest in the 16th century, the Spanish eradicated many of the Central American natives through warfare, and even more through the spread of European diseases. Those that were left were highly mistreated and used as slave labor, or paid very little. Through centuries of Spanish rule, the natives and the Spanish co-mingled and had children together. Spanish/native mixes are called "Mestizos", which most Central Americans are today. But there are still pure Native and pure Spanish blood around today.
