    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…

    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…

    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. They work with the help of the Dominican and Franciscan friars, but the relationship between them was not peaceful, because native Indians resisted the imposition of Spanish authority, what resulted in slavery and even death of native people. Those, who did not protest against Spanish authority were treated equally, were allow to merry, and conduct the business. Native Indians consider Spanish discovery more as an invasion of their land with very little recognition of their religious claim to the land their where they bore the graves of the dead.…

    The Spanish appeared to have a number of misconceptions about the American Indians. One major misconception they had was that the Spanish thought that they were superior in a sense compared to the American Indians. Another key misconception they had was that they thought the American Indians were vicious brutes that did not have the mental capability to think logically, and because they were savages they assumed the Amerindians are incapable of being hospitable and displaying empathy; they were afraid that the Indians would dispose of the Spanish by using them as sacrifices to their idols.…

    With the Spanish conquest in Latin America came many accounts from both Spanish and indigenous writers. These primary sources are not only useful because of their content, but also because of their omissions. That is to say that the discrepancies found among writers of different class, race, or political position, are expressive of their individual biases. Analyzing what these variations are and why they exist allows for a deeper understanding of the history of this colonial period. Especially in understanding the opinions and perspectives of one group upon another, and how these perspectives are perpetuated. The contrasting accounts occur not only between the conquistadores and the indigenous people, but also within the ranks of the Spaniards.…

    Bartolome de las Casas criticizes abuse on Hispañola, quoting Fray Anton Montesino, 1550: The Dominicans felt the Spanish had lack of emotion for the natives as they did not show interest in their suffering and cruel imprisonment and had more concerns of their own wealth and prosperity. 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.

    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…
