    The Victors and Vanquished is a book that was edited by Stuart B. Schwartz in the year 2000. From reading the acknowledgements I gathered that Schwartz preparation with the book involved the help of his colleagues too. He even attended Yale University as a Professor and gave a seminar of the conquest of Mexico. However, Schwartz is not a researcher in Mexican ethnohistory, but a man whose goal is to spread new discoveries to people who enjoy culture’s past. The document that Schwartz presented the perspective of the Spaniards and Nahua during the conquest of Mexico.…

    This document also shows the force with which the Spaniards had taken the from the Native Indians. The Spanish conquerors had claimed this land for Spain to spread Christian values to the non-believers in these new lands. But, their actions as documented by the author shows the turmoil caused by the Spanish conquerors during this growth through exploration and discovery period. All the actions taken by the Spaniards did not reflect any of the Christian values that were mainly supposed to be a key component of their exploration.…

    Mathew Restall’s Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest is a well-written book that serves an important purpose. That purpose being: the debunking of generally accepted falsehoods about the Spanish Conquest beginning in the 15th century. Restall’s book is separated into seven chapters that specifically address general myths most historians and students perceive as basic --- universal truths. Restall uses the term “myth” to describe the inaccurate/fictitious depiction of history “commonly taken to be true, partially or absolutely.” These “myths” are the progenitors of unintentionally self-centered perceptions of events historically recorded in subjectivity. The Self-absorption, relating to the…

    _Myths of the Spanish Conquest_ is broken into seven chapters, each dedicated to a different myth or mis-conception regarding the Spanish conquest. In debunking these myths, Matthew Restall works with three themes regarding the conquest. First, that the European discovery of the Americas was one of the greatest events in human history. Second, that the conquest was the achievement of "a few great men," which he subsequently describes as "a handful of adventurers." These two themes lead to a third theme, or question. "If history's greatest event - the European discovery and conquest of the Americas - was achieved by a mere "handful of adventurers," how did they do it?"…

    “With the exception of some early viceroys, few members of Spain’s nobility came to the New World. Hidalgos – lesser nobles – were well represented, as were Spanish merchants, artisans, miners, priests, and lawyers. Small numbers of criminals, beggars, and prostitutes also found their way to the colonies. This flow of immigrants from Spain was never large, and Spanish settlers were always a tiny minority in a colonial society numerically dominated by Amerindians and rapidly growing populations of Africans, creoles (whites born in America to European parents), and people of mixed ancestry.…

    In the first chapter entitled the Social Organization of Warfare, Alonso provides a vivid social and historical background on how the Chihuahuan frontier comes into being. Known as “the locus of endemic warfare between colonists and indigenes” (21) for centuries, violence in Chihuahuan frontier has become significant to the making of this particular society. As a matter of fact, the state does not only legalize “the use of violence against indigenes” but also makes “the warfare against the Apache a source of personal prestige and status of honor” (46) especially for the military colonies such as the peasants of Namiquipa. The fluidity of this frontier society also allows its people to achieve individual success based on “extraordinary valor…

    This is where the Encomienda System came into play. The encomienda system was an exploitive labor system designed by Spain’s government to reward conquistadors by granting them administrative control over Native American labor and territory (Early American slavery quotes). Conquistadors were usually Alpha males and were responsible for creating Spain’s empire in the “New World”. And usually an empire has demands.…

    The late 15th century was a time of ‘Great Discoveries’ for European exploration and colonization and the colonial conquests of Spain and Portugal in the Americas was a great historical feat. The indigenous people of the land- approximately 100 million maybe in 1492 (Lockhart and Schwartz, 1983, p.36)- had been isolated for so long that they had no inherited immunities to “Old World” pathogens and were completely vulnerable to ‘virgin soil’ epidemics. Stricken populations could not resist alien conquest and within a single generation of Cortès’s expedition to Mexico (1519-22), most densely populated regions had been brought under Spanish rule. (Waites, 1999, p. 24) colonial powers at the time wanted to change the societies of these countries to mimic that which they left behind. “The conquerors sought to…
