So, when the "settlers" arrived even Mexico had up to 50,000,000 people

Wishful thinking and nonsense.

Who told you that? Tony Villaraigosa?

"Wishful thinking and nonsense. "

That number is commonly seen in discussions of the number of people in S America, pre-European landing.

There are numerous non-hispanic sources regarding the Mexican population at the time of the coming of the Spanish.

Now, back to your theory that English speaking Europeans living in the Old World invented the skyscraper, the nuclear reactor, the airplane, the automobile, etc.

They didn't.

Elwood Haynes invented the automobile in Indiana. The Wright Brothers grew up in Indiana and invented the airplane in Ohio. Dr. Geiger invented the geiger counter in Indiana (thereby making it possible to find radioactive materials to touch off the nuclear age).

Getting real narrowly defined here, and noting that the first skyscraper was built in Chicago, I'd say that EVERYTHING worth having in the modern world was invented in a small part of the world where the dominant language was German, and it wasn't in Europe.
