While other authors, such a Joel Spring talk about the hard truth of taking over people’s land. Spring talks about the hardships that people had to face when conquers came into their native land.

    When in reality it was the Spaniards who were the true savages for treating Native Americans as an evil creature due to their religious views. It was sad to read about how Indians families were torn apart and many choose not to have kids because of this. I was disgusted by how the Spaniards would cut off native women’s breasts and throw their infants to a pack of dogs. The teachings of Popes prepared the ground for the mass Genocide of Native Americans because they taught genocide because anyone who would go against their God would be killed. There are many major statements in this book. One of which is the statement that history books have incorrect information on the conquest of the Americas by the Spaniards. This is important to understand because it shows how young students are being taught wrong information as well as being taught to think that Native Americans are horrible people when the reality was that they were the victims in the situation. Another important statement addressed in the book was how it explained the mistreatment of Native American by the…

    Chapter 2 is mainly about colonial ruling of third world countries. Almost all of Africa and Asia were under some kind of colonial rule due to European imperialism. This led to a huge growth in global economy. Many people felt like it was the responsibility of civilized people to rule those that were less fortunate as bad as that sounds; also known as the “White mans burden”. On the plus side, taking control of such lands produced many natural resources to boost the production of the world’s goods. Many critics say that the western civilization was crazy for power and money and the strong push for new land…

    Thinking back to Ferdinand and Isabella’s choice to colonize the New World, I believe they made the right decision. Even though I now know the terrible consequences that their decision inflicted on the native people, my position remains that colonization was worth the cost. Columbus’ letter described the New World; Hispana like it was a place for the gods. Perhaps, in the eyes of Europeans it was a paradise. Europe was suffering from a lack of resources, polluted rivers, and overpopulated landscapes, which led to a major crisis.…
