Answer 1

The statement is incorrect. When the Spanish conquered Mexico, they did not treat the indigenous people as equals. Instead, they imposed their rule and often exploited and oppressed indigenous populations. Many indigenous people were subjected to forced labor, violence, and the imposition of foreign cultures and religions. The Conquest led to significant suffering and devastation among indigenous communities.
