How did the impact of spanish colonization in the Americas differ for the spanish and native Americans?

Spanish colonization in the Americas primarily benefited the Spanish through the extraction of wealth, establishment of new trade routes, and expansion of their empire. In contrast, Native Americans faced devastating consequences, including loss of land, exposure to diseases, and cultural suppression. The Spanish imposed their language, religion, and governance, often leading to violent conflicts and significant population decline among Indigenous peoples. Overall, while the Spanish gained economic and territorial advantages, Native Americans suffered profound social and demographic disruptions.
