On this discussion board, as happens now and then in the English language, there are undocumented accusations directed at the history of Spain. So, here is an undocumented response:

Never; in the lands that were colonies of Spain has there been mass famine. Haiti is an exception to this, but Haiti was Spanish a long time ago and it has been under other influences since then.

For those that like documentation, there is the discussion of the Black Myth in the last chapter of the book by Stewart Udall, TO THE INLAND EMPIRE. Another interesting book on this subject is, CORTES AND THE DOWNFALL OF THE AZTEC EMPIRE, by John Manchip White.
Adios mis amigos.
