**Title:** Estimated Native American Population of Mexico, 1518-1593
**Source:**
James Killoran et al., *The Key to Understanding Global History*, Jarrett Publishing (adapted).
**Graph Description:**
This graph visually represents the estimated population of Native Americans in Mexico from the years 1518 to 1593. The vertical axis (Y-axis) shows the population in millions, ranging from 0 to 25 million. The horizontal axis (X-axis) represents the years, starting from 1518 and ending at 1593.
**Detailed Analysis:**
- **1518:** The population starts at approximately 25 million.
- **1533:** A significant decline in population is observed, down to around 17.5 million.
- **1548:** The population continues to decrease, falling to about 10 million.
- **1563:** The decline is more pronounced, with the population estimated at around 5 million.
- **1578:** The population drops further to around 3 million.
- **1593:** The decline continues, reaching a population of approximately 2 million.
This drastic decrease in the Native American population from 1518 to 1593 suggests a severe impact due to various factors, potentially including disease, warfare, and colonization effects by European settlers.
