What If Germanics and Slavs migrated to Latin America Instead of Iberian?

[Abti]

Look at Siberia. It's not far fetched to say that for Russians it's much like America for Spaniards. Just mind that it was scarcely populated and had nothing like imperial peoples of America (Inka, Aztecks etc).

Except those Siberians are immune to everything Russians, Poles, Ukrainians have. If not they would be dead long time ago.

Are or were? The difference is huge. If you mean were, than this sounds quite contradicting to that:

[...] The conquest of Siberia also resulted in the spread of diseases. Historian John F. Richards wrote: "... it is doubtful that the total early modern Siberian population exceeded 300,000 persons. ... New diseases weakened and demoralized the indigenous peoples of Siberia. The worst of these was smallpox "because of its swift spread, the high death rates, and the permanent disfigurement of survivors." ... In the 1650s, it moved east of the Yenisey, where it carried away up to 80 percent of the Tungus and Yakut populations. In the 1690s, smallpox epidemics reduced Yukagir numbers by an estimated 44 percent. The disease moved rapidly from group to group across Siberia."[6]

The ultimate barbarian specimen.

JK! There is a story of a German traveller who met uncontacted peoples somewhere in South America on YouTube with a video of it in the Middle Ages or so.

Latins didn't incorporate just every people either. Argentinian and Uruguayan peoples were almost fully wiped out.

There was more indigenous population replacement in Brazil than Argentina.

I see. So Brazil too.

There are various documented accounts of smallpox being knowingly used as a biological weapon by New Brazilian villagers that wanted to get rid of nearby Amerindian tribes (not always aggressive ones). The most "classical", according to Anthropologist, Mércio Pereira Gomes, happened in Caxias, in south Maranhão, where local farmers, wanting more land to extend their cattle farms, gave clothing owned by ill villagers (that normally would be burned to prevent further infection) to the Timbira. The clothing infected the entire tribe, and they had neither immunity nor cure. Similar things happened in other villages throughout South America.

After having been established as independent states, and not so much under the Spanish Crown dependence.

Yes, especially in Argentina's case, the overwhelming majority of the massacres of Amerindians occurred post-Independence.

Such an experiment existed in Southern Brazil. Map of Polish, mixed, German and Italian colonies.

That's true, in fact there were such immigrants in other regions of Latin America too but in such cases they didn't come as conquistadores.

From the colonist's guide:

The tools can also include guns - shotguns and six-shot revolvers, necessary for defense
against the Indians, as well as wild animals appearing in the wild.
