One big effect visible today is the fact that Mexico is a contry with Spanish as the majority language. Additionally, the indigenous lost their culture and religion to a great extent and instead adopted the Spanish one.

The indigenous also mixed with Spanish and now Mexico is a land with many Mestizos, the mixed, and not as many indigenous.
