A survey conducted in 2021 showed that among Mexican respondents who consider themselves as white or mixed, more than half believed the Conquest of Mexico, or the conquest of the Aztec Empire to be more precise, brought mostly positive things. However, among indigenous Mexicans, 60 percent stated that mainly negative consequences came out of the arrival of the Spanish people, such as slavery or diseases. Furthermore, 55 percent of Mexican respondents did not think that the Spanish government should apologize for the events that occurred during the Conquest of Mexico.
