Answer:

What was it that really ended the Mayan civilization?

When the Spanish conquerors set sail for Central America in 1517, their goal was to subdue the Mayan civilization.

But by the time they landed, the political and economic power that had erected iconic pyramids in the region while sustaining a population of some two million people had vanished.

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope to help! :)
