NO RETARD.
>TL;DR:
1) WESTERN (Hispanic-Latino-Hellenic) CIVILIZATION was created 2,700 years ago by the HELLENIC peoples as a distinction from everyone (aka everything that was on the East) and invented the word "BARBARIAN" to refer to non-Greeks, including the continent of North Europe. Hellenization is the spread of this civilization through racemixing and syncretism.
2) The Roman conquest of Greece triggered some racemixing and a lot of syncretism; the racemixing and syncretism is what made the LATINO peoples become part of WESTERN (Hispanic-Latino-Hellenic) CIVILIZATION. Latinization/Romanization is the spread of this civilization through racemixing and syncretism.
3) The Hispanic peoples from Iberia to Tenochtitlan became central elements of WESTERN (Hispanic-Latino-Hellenic) CIVILIZATION by first rejecting that civilization (see Hispanic heroes such as Viriato, which means "hiper-macho" or "machazo") to have control over that very empire. Hispanization is the spread of this civilization through racemixing and syncretism.
