The native population of Central America between the years 1540 and 1580 was decimated.
Explanation:
Before the Europeans arrived in Central America, there were numerous thriving native populations. When the Spanish arrived though, this all changed. The Spanish came with few goals, all of which were causing enormous damage to the native populations. Some of the goals of the Spanish were:
- gaining as much gold and silver as possible
- conquering as much territory as possible

The First Transcontinental Railroad was completed in 1869.
