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 the standard for Spanish exploration in the new world. a push into the frontier fornew natural resources 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.

Background Information The age of exploration was driven by a combination of many forces. European countries had a variety of political, religious, and economic reasons to explore new lands. Individual explorers often shared some of the same motives as the nations they represented but often they had their own reasons for exploring. The Spanish conquistadors were one group of explorers who sailed for Spain. They explored the Americas during the first half of the 1500's. It was during this time that the Spanish dominated the settlement of the Americas. Task Imagine you are a conquistador on a ship sailing to the New World during the 16th century.

Extractions: Lesson Plan on the Effects of the Spanish Conquest Teacher: Angela DiMaio Subject: Social Studies Grade Level: 5th Grade Date: June 12, 2000 Sunshine Strand: People, Places, and Environments. [Geography] Sunshine Standard: The student understands the interactions of people and the physical environment. I. 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.
Extractions: Courtesy Embassy of Colombia, Washington 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 (see

Extractions: Unit 9: Exploration / The Americas Columbus in the New World The voyages of Christopher Columbus initiated the European exploration of the Americas. The following selections come from a letter written by Columbus upon his return from the New World. After landing in Lisbon in March 1493, Columbus sent a letter describing his discoveries to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. In the letter, Columbus describes the geography and people of the islands that he believed were in the "Indian Sea." The letter was first published in Barcelona and immediately went into multiple editions, becoming one of Europe's earliest "bestsellers." Eleven editions were published in 1493 alone. Columbus Discovers the New World Columbus's letter announcing his findings in the New World was printed along with images that illustrated his discoveries. This print depicts the inhabitants of the New World as Columbus saw them. Cortes Describes Aztec Sacrifices, 1521 Hernan Cortes (1485-1546) and his troops managed in a short time to invade Mexico and topple the Aztec civilization there, culminating in the 1523 destruction of the capital of Tenochtitlan. Cortes arrived on the mainland of Mexico as a rebel against both the governor of Cuba and the king of Spain, but he won back royal support after his conquests. In this selection taken from a letter to the Spanish king, Cortes described Aztec human sacrifices and suggested that he conquer the people in the name of Christianity. Fusing description, flattery, and a belief in the power of European civilization, this letter represents an ideal window into the mind of the Spanish conquistador.
BBC - History - The Story Of The Conquistadors The conquest of much of the new world by Spanish conquistadors duringthose few years was surely one of history's turning points. http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/discovery/exploration/conquistadors_01.shtml
Extractions: Print this article Introduction 'Everything that has happened since the marvellous discovery of the Americas has been so extraordinary that the whole story remains quite incredible to anyone who has not experienced it at first hand. 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. '...has history, and our ways of seeing the world, ever moved so fast as it did in the 16th century?'
