    Summary Of Matthew Restall's Seven Myths Of The Spanish Conquest

    When discussing the importance of Spanish alliances, it is important to discuss Matthew Restall’s interpretation of “the myth of the white conquistador”. A common myth in regards to the Spanish Conquest is that the Aztecs were conquered by a small group of white Spanish men. Within Restall’s book titled “Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest”, he debunks the myth of the white conquistadors. Restall’s argues that “there is no doubt that the Spanish were consistently outnumbered by native enemies on the battlefield. But what has so often been ignored or forgotten is the fact that Spaniards tended also to be outnumbered by their own native allies. Furthermore, the invisible warriors of this myth took an additional form, that of the Africans, free and enslave, who accompanied Spanish…

    Racial Relations Throughout History: Bartolome De Las Casas, Helen Hunt Jackson

    Bartolome de Las Casas (1474-1566) was a Spanish historian who was one of the first to “tell all” about what the Spaniards were doing to the native people. In his writing he was quite descriptive, from how the people were killed to the locations of the islands. He was straightforward about what was done to the natives and he was very against it. He made it very clear that if the people were not killed, which was very few, were captured and sold for slavery. He compared the…

    Relationship Between Dominican And Spanish Conquistadors

    The Spanish conquistadors were well educated, but also profit-minded, and known as having the most powerful navy in the world. They consider themselves, as a “saving souls” of native Indian who most believe had no culture or religion at all.

Those, who did not protest against Spanish authority were treated equally, were allow to merry, and conduct the business.

    How Did Christopher Columbus Exist

    My fellow congressmen and senators, today we convene to discuss the repercussions of events that occurred nearly three-hundred years before our nation's birth; events that, had they not occurred, it is a certainty that the United States of America would not exist as it does today. The event I am speaking about of course is the world famous voyage of the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, and his subsequent discovery of the American continents. One thing that is not disputed by any historian of merit is the fact that Christopher Columbus' landing in the America's led directly to the European colonization of the area, and this colonization (which Columbus was directly involved in) was brutally exploitative, and fatally devastating to the natives of the area. While Christopher Columbus is a…

Some Spaniards were more malicious as they would rid all the natives if it was in their benefit and would add to their riches, while the lesser of them respected the natives more and were not as hateful, but put their own good firsthand.

    Similarities Between Kalinagos And Tianos

    The Amerindians were one of the first set of people to populate the Eastern Caribbean and they established many civilizations. The Amerindian people were made up of two unique and distinctive groups; the Arawaks, which were also known as Taino, who populated the Greater Antilles and the Caribs, which were also known as Kalinagos, who resided in the Lesser Antilles. In this day and age, there is no existence of the great civilizations that once were around but a few Amerindians have been confined to a few of the Caribbean territories and the heritage that was left by Kalinagos and Tianos lives on and can be felt just about everywhere in the Caribbean region. Many of these…
