Indeed it seems to overshadow all the deeds of famous people of the past, no matter how heroic, and to silence all talk of other wonders of the world.' - Bartolome de las Casas It is amazing to think that when Bartolome de las Casas wrote those words in 1542, barely 20 years had passed since the discovery and conquest of the Aztec world in Mexico. It was only three years since the defeat of the Great Revolt of the Incas in the High Andes of Peru. At that moment, in fact, Manco Inca still controlled an independent Inca state in the jungles of Vilcabamba. During the same years in which Cortes overthrew the Aztecs, Magellan circumnavigated the globe.

Extractions: Print entire article Colombian exchange The long-term effects of the Conquest are no less fascinating. The 'Columbian Exchange' as modern historians call it, brought the potato, the pineapple, the turkey, dahlias, sunflowers, magnolias, maize, chillies and chocolate across the Atlantic. On the other hand, tens of millions died in the pandemics of the 16th century, victims of smallpox, measles and the other diseases brought by Europeans (and don't forget that the African slave trade was begun by the Europeans, to replace the work force they had decimated). Then, after the defeat and extermination of the native societies, came the arrival of the European settler class and the appropriation of the native lands and natural resources. From this process has emerged the modern US empire. The effects on the economies of the world were no less marked as it shifted the centre of gravity of civilisation to the countries of the Atlantic seaboard and their offshoots in the New World. However, the story is also one of history's greatest adventures. The opening up of the continent involved unparalleled journeys of exploration with almost unbelievable bravery, endurance, cruelty and greed.
European Voyages Of Exploration: Latin America new world peoples had no such contact and this resulted in devastating The conquistadors depended heavily on the military advantage given them by their http://www.ucalgary.ca/applied_history/tutor/eurvoya/Latin.html
Extractions: The European Voyages of Exploration The earliest inhabitants of America were hunters who migrated from the Asian mainland across the Bering Straits land bridge between 40,000 and 25,000 B.C.E. They adapted quickly to their environment. Their population in Central America and in the high valleys of the Andes alone had grown to approximately 45 million by 1492, the year Christopher Columbus arrived in America. In 1500, over 350 major tribal groups, 15 distinct cultural centres and more than 160 linguistic stocks existed in Latin America, a variety so great as to invite comparison with all of Eurasia or all of Africa. Map of New Spain 1540 The Europeans incorrectly categorised all these groups under the title of "Indian." "Indian" was of course a misnomer since it originated in a geographical misconception on the part of the Christopher Columbus who imagined himself near the East Indies. Having only one name applied to the diverse indigenous populations also presented a unity between these groups that did not actually exist. Even after contact with the European invaders, each group sought out the most advantageous situation for itself alone. This lack of unity was a key element to Spanish expansion as will be seen in the accounts of the conquests of the Aztec and Inca Empires. Any commonality among the diverse indigenous groups came from their shared state of relative isolation from the rest of humanity. In the Old World, people, disease strains and technologies had been continually passed back and forth over the entire great landmass of Europe-Asia-Africa for centuries. New World peoples had no such contact and this resulted in devastating population losses due to a lack of resistance to the incoming Old World diseases like smallpox. Another way in which these groups were similar is that none had iron and steel. The Europeans knew how to manufacture and use steel weapons and this knowledge gave them the ultimate military superiority critical to their conquest of the New World.
European Voyages Of Exploration: The Caribbean and settlement became the standard for Spanish exploration in the new world . The men who led these campaigns were known as the conquistadors. http://www.ucalgary.ca/applied_history/tutor/eurvoya/carib.html
Extractions: The European Voyages of Exploration THE CARIBBEAN: FIRST CONTACT Europe's interaction with the Caribbean began in 1492 with the Spanish sponsored voyages of Christopher Columbus. Columbus' voyages to the Caribbean incorporated two differing traditions of expansion. The first was influenced by his Genoese roots and his experience in the Portuguese mercantile system. This background allowed Columbus to view his task as mainly one of discovery to be followed by the establishment of commercial outposts and trading centres that would tap into indigenous resources. The primary goal of this system was the quick exploitation of the local area with minimum investment. This contrasted dramatically with the Spanish Castilian tradition born of the reconquista that emphasised a military advance, followed by the sharing out of new lands and booty. The primary goal of this system was the conquest and eventual settlement of new lands for the purpose of long term exploitation. The difference between these two traditions created expectations that brought Columbus into immediate conflict with the Spanish settlers who accompanied him. The Crown was called on in several occasions to mediate between Columbus and the settlers, usually deciding in their countrymen's favour. By his death in 1506 Columbus had already fallen to the wayside of Spanish exploration because he was a poor governor in the Spanish tradition.

Content: I want my students to understand that the effect the Spanish Conquistadors had on the New World and its inhabitants was both a blessing and a curse. II. Prerequisites: The students should have a general knowledge about the inhabitants of the New World in terms of who they were and how they lived. III. Instructional Objective: When requested, the student will describe how the Conquistadors affected the lives of the Native Americans. Included in the description must be reference to at least two places where they landed, the names of three Native people conquered, and at least three changes that occurred with each people as a result. IV Instructional Procedures: Lesson-initiating activity: The lesson begins with the teacher introducing background information on the Spanish Conquistadors. The Conquistadors came to the New World looking for Gold, God, and Glory. They wanted to conquer and expand their settlements in the New World and by doing so, they eradicated established civilizations. However, the Spanish Conquistadors did bring Christianity to the New World as well as European culture.

Colombia - Exploration And Conquest that first came to the new world consisted of conquistadors, administrators, In what became presentday Colombia, the conquistadors explored and http://countrystudies.us/colombia/5.htm
Extractions: Exploration and Conquest Colombia Table of Contents The group of Spaniards that first came to the New World consisted of conquistadors, administrators, and Roman Catholic clergy. The adventurous conquistadors were risk-taking entrepreneurs, financing their own expeditions in the expectation of being able to get rich quick. The administrators were appointed by and represented the crown in the colonies and sought to maintain the New World colonies as a source of wealth and prestige for the Spanish Empire. The clergy sought to save the souls of the native Indians, and in the process they acquired land and wealth for the church. The conquistadors, who felt they owed nothing to the crown, often came into conflict with the latter's attempts to centralize and strengthen its authority over the colonies. In what became present-day Colombia, the conquistadors explored and began to settle the coastal areas. The first explorers to round the coast of the Guajira Peninsula and enter Colombian territory were Alonso de Ojeda in 1499 and Rodrigo de Bastidas in 1500. In 1510 Ojeda founded Santa María la Antigua de Darién (present-day Acandí) on the western side of the Golfo de Urabá. Bastidas established Santa Marta in 1525. In 1533 another explorer, Pedro de Heredia, organized Cartagena after pacifying the Indians in the area. These coastal cities served as havens from Indian attacks and as bases for exploratory expeditions into the interior. In addition, Cartagena linked the colonies with the motherland and became a focal point of intercontinental travel.

Extractions: The resurgence of trade following the Middle Ages in Europe resulted in a demand for goods from Asia. Trade routes were established across the Mediterranean and through the Middle East to handle this need. But, when the expansion of the Ottoman Empire caused disruption along these routes, Europeans were forced to seek alternative ways of importing these goods. This led to the exploration of water routes to Asia, and eventually the discovery of the Americas by the Europeans. Reconquista

Extractions: Licentiate Cepada, Spanish Provincial Judge After waiting for years to fulfill his dream of leaving Spain to see the New World, a man named President La Gasca finally received his opportunity. Prior to his departure however, he received a letter from Licentiate Cepeda, a judge in one of the Spanish provinces in the New World. In his letter Cepeda cautioned his friend that, despite his eagerness to see the wonders of this hemisphere, the conditions of settlement were not what he perhaps expected. Cepeda warned, "They live not like kings(Cepeda 13)." The idea that the Spanish Conquistadors lived lavishly upon the labor and exploitation of the indigenous population has long been the typical conception of life in the New World. This perception is not entirely accurate. While the Spanish did indeed live off the exploitation of the Indians, it was not always a lavish lifestyle and certainly not at first. The conditions initially faced by the conquistadors were filled with struggle against the natural elements, financial difficulty, threat of violence and the necessity to adapt to the conditions of this "New World." These factors, along with the conquistadors close interaction with the indigenous people created a new type of culture, and a new class of elite, far different from that which they left behind in Europe. The Conquistadors first arrived in the Andean region in early decades of the 16th century. In the Spanish push across Central America to the Pacific coast in 1513, a young captain named Francisco Pizarro gained invaluable experience that would eventually help him earn the infamous reputation as the Conquistador of the Inca. In 1526, these Conquistadors led their own exploration from Panama to the Andes and into contact with the Inca Realm(Gabai 15). By 1532, Inca Atahuaplla had been captured and the Spanish presence was entrenched enough to bring the first wave of settlement to populate their expanding empire.
