The Spanish Empire in the Americas was divided into two provinces, New Spain and Peru, each ruled by a viceroy appointed by the King of Spain. The population consisted of Spanish people in positions of authority, Creoles who were Spanish born in the colonies, mixed-race Mestizos, Native Americans used for labor without rights, and African slaves brought by ship. Labor systems included the Encomienda granting Native American labor, haciendas that supplied food, and plantations growing cash crops like sugar, coffee, and tobacco for export.

1491 The Americas Before Columbus
Looking at several first nation groups that existed and thrived in the Americas before Columbus discovered the Americas.
Columbus' voyages
Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer, sought funding from Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain for an expedition to reach Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. Columbus led three ships and 90 sailors on the voyage, landing in the Bahamas and believing he had reached Asia, naming the islands San Salvador. Upon his return to Spain, he led two more voyages to the Americas in 1493 and 1498, establishing settlements and exploring the Caribbean and South America. Though he never realized he had discovered a new continent, Columbus made four voyages of exploration that opened the door for European colonization of the Americas.
Early American Civilizations (Pre-Columbian)
This slide is a brief overview of civilizations extant in North, South, and Mesoamerica in Pre-Columbian times.
Imperialism in America at the turn of the century
American imperialism around the turn of the century - includes the Spanish-American War, conflict with China, and Hawaii
The French and Indian War
The document discusses the origins and key events of the French and Indian War between the French and English in North America from the 1750s to the 1760s. It began as tensions rose between the French and English over territorial expansion in the Ohio Valley. One of the early battles was led by a young George Washington against the French at Fort Necessity. The war then escalated and involved the governments of France and Britain directly. Britain eventually gained control over much of North America after capturing Quebec in 1759. This shifted the balance of power but also increased tensions between the British and American colonists over control of the newly acquired western lands.
The 13 Colonies
The document discusses the 13 original colonies in North America and some of their key attributes. It divides the colonies into three regions: New England colonies which were family-oriented and religion-based; Middle colonies which were more socially and religiously diverse; and Southern colonies which focused on family and agriculture. It then briefly outlines the triangular trade route that developed between the colonies, as well as two major cultural events that influenced colonial life - the Great Awakening religious revival and the spread of Enlightenment thinking.
The Spanish Inquisition-English II
The Spanish Inquisition occurred from 1478 to 1834 in Spain. Catholic rulers Ferdinand and Isabella established the Inquisition to enforce Catholic orthodoxy and eliminate heresy. It targeted Jews, Muslims, and converts from those faiths who were suspected of secretly practicing their original religions. The Inquisition used brutal methods like torture to extract confessions, with those convicted facing execution or life in prison. It ended in 1834 after the French Revolution weakened the Catholic Church's power in Spain.
Crusades And Changes In Medieval Society
The document provides an overview of the Crusades and the economic changes in medieval Europe between 800-1500 CE. It can be summarized as follows:
1) The Crusades were a series of religious wars called by the Pope starting in 1095 CE with the goal of retaking the Holy Land from Muslim rule. The First Crusade succeeded in capturing Jerusalem in 1099 CE.
2) Economic changes led to population growth in medieval Europe. The development of new farming techniques like the three-field system and use of horses increased food production. Guilds also emerged to regulate trades and improve conditions for merchants and artisans.
3) A commercial revolution expanded agriculture, business and trade routes to Asia and Africa.
Conquistadors
Conquistadors were Spanish soldiers and explorers who brought much of the Americas under Spanish control following Columbus' discovery. Hernan Cortes conquered the Aztec Empire in Mexico with just 500 men, defeating them at their capital Tenochtitlan after a smallpox epidemic weakened them. Francisco Pizarro similarly conquered the vast Inca Empire in Peru, capturing its emperor Atahualpa and looting its gold before destroying the empire. Both conquests had immense impacts, destroying native civilizations and establishing Spanish rule.
the geographical discoveries
In the 15th century, Spain and Portugal divided territories they had rediscovered in the Americas between them. Christopher Columbus sailed from Spain in 1492 and arrived in the Americas, encountering three major indigenous tribes: the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas. The Spanish later fought wars against these tribes to gain control over their lands and establish colonies. Major cities of these civilizations included Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City) of the Aztecs, sites of the advanced Mayan writing system, and Machu Picchu of the largest Inca Empire. Spain went on to form institutions to control its new American colonies from Sevilla and defend its territories against other European powers.
APUSH Period 1 (1491-1607)
Before European contact, native populations across North America developed diverse social, political, and economic structures adapted to their environments. Some groups, like the Maya, Aztecs, and Incas, formed large empires with advanced agricultural systems, while others like those in North America lived in smaller, nomadic societies relying on hunting and gathering. Beginning in the 15th century, Europeans began exploring and colonizing, seeking wealth, trade, and empire. Spain claimed much of North and South America and forced native populations into oppressive systems like encomiendas, dramatically reducing their numbers through violence and disease. Debates emerged around how to classify and treat indigenous peoples.
Early British Colonies U.S. History
The early British colonies were established for economic reasons, with the first being Jamestown in 1607. Tobacco became a profitable crop in Virginia while indentured servitude provided labor. Self-governance emerged through entities like the Virginia House of Burgesses and Mayflower Compact. Puritans founded colonies like Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay to escape religious persecution in England. The 13 original colonies developed diverse economies while remaining tied to England through the Navigation Acts; however, they gained a growing spirit of self-determination.
AP World History: Modern Period 2, c. 1450-1750 CE Review
This document provides an overview of land-based empires between 1450-1750 CE. It discusses the characteristics of land-based empires, including their focus on territorial expansion over sea trade. Several empires are examined, including the Ming and Qing Dynasties in China, the Mughal Empire in India, and the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East. The document also covers the governments, belief systems, expansion, and comparisons between various land-based empires during this time period.

The Age of Discovery
The document discusses the Age of Discovery from the 15th to 16th centuries. Key events included Marco Polo's expedition to China, advances in navigation technology like the caravel and compass, and Portuguese discoveries along the coast of Africa. Prince Henry the Navigator sponsored voyages of exploration. Columbus's voyages for Spain beginning in 1492 opened trade routes to the Americas, bringing both opportunities and devastation as European diseases decimated indigenous populations. The globalization process began as goods, people and knowledge were exchanged between connected parts of the world.
The Mayan Civilization
The Maya people used a written language and a numeral system. They were good at art, building, and math. Their priests studied stars and planets, which helped them make calendars. The Maya civilization was biggest between the years of 420 AD and 900 AD.
Lewis & Clark
Thomas Jefferson appointed Meriwether Lewis to lead an expedition to explore the Louisiana Purchase and establish an all-water route from the Northwest. William Clark, who had experience with Indian relations, joined Lewis. In 1804, the Corps of Discovery departed on their mission to document new species, improve relations with Indian tribes who they met along the way such as the Shoshone, and discover what land had been purchased from France.
DAVID LIVINGSTONE; Blazing a Trail for God in Africa
David Livingstone was a Scottish missionary and explorer in Africa in the 19th century. He was born in 1813 and raised in a religious home. As a young man he felt called to missionary work and studied medicine to prepare. He went to Africa in 1841 and established mission stations while also exploring the interior, becoming the first European to see the Victoria Falls. He dedicated his life to ending slavery and bringing Christianity to Africa. After returning to Britain briefly in the 1850s and 1860s to raise awareness, he returned and disappeared for several years before being famously found by Henry Stanley in 1871. Livingstone died in 1873 while still exploring Africa's interior.
The Age of Exploration
The Age of Exploration began in the 15th century as European powers sought new trade routes and lands. Countries sponsored voyages of explorers like Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama, and Ferdinand Magellan to circumnavigate the globe and map the Americas and Asia. These explorations established new trade networks for resources like spices, gold, and slaves, and led to the Columbian Exchange of plants, animals, technologies, and diseases between the Old World and New World.

The document summarizes key events in the exploration and colonization of the Americas by Europeans beginning in the late 15th century. It notes that Christopher Columbus arrived in the Caribbean in 1492 while seeking a route to Asia, claimed the lands for Spain, and made three voyages to establish colonies. It then discusses other explorers like Vespucci, Cabral, Magellan, Cortes, Pizarro who expanded European presence and claims in the Americas, often through the conquest and exploitation of indigenous peoples and empires like the Aztecs and Incas. The document also outlines the establishment of Spanish systems of control and extraction of wealth from the colonies through the encomienda system and growth of crops like sugar.
Incas empire
The Inca Empire spanned much of western South America from Colombia to central Chile. It was divided into four regions each governed by appointees who oversaw productive valleys, cities, and mines. Inca society was strictly stratified with the Sapa Inca as ruler and nobility, common people, and servants comprising other classes. The Incas developed advanced infrastructure including roads, architecture, agriculture, and education systems, but the empire disintegrated after the death of Huayna Capac due to a war between his two sons over succession to the throne.
Spanish Empire in the americas
The document provides biographical information on several individuals from the Spanish Empire in the Americas between the 15th-17th centuries, including both indigenous people and those of mixed European/indigenous descent. It also summarizes key events and aspects of Aztec and Spanish rule in Mexico, such as the rise and fall of the Aztec Empire and their practices of human sacrifice, as well as the Spanish conquest led by Hernan Cortes and the introduction of Christianity. The Spanish Empire grew to become the largest in the world during this time period through exploration, colonial expansion, and opening global trade routes.

3) spanish colonialism in north america
New Spain was established after the Spanish conquest of Mexico to give the Spanish crown control over the region. It was led by a Viceroy with limited power who was advised by an Audiencia. Gold and silver were the main exports, and New Spain became highly urbanized with over 200 towns by 1628. Starting in the 1530s, the Spanish began exploring North America in search of gold and silver, led by explorers like Cabeza de Vaca, Hernando de Soto, and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, though they found no major riches. The Spanish then focused on establishing the colony of Florida in 1565 to counter the French, but other than St. Augustine, these early colonies failed
Spanish & north american colonies
Spanish exploration of the Americas began with Columbus' voyages in 1492, which led to the conquest of vast empires like the Aztecs and Incas. The Spanish established colonies and imposed systems like the encomienda to exploit native labor. Other European powers like Portugal, France, the Netherlands, and England soon followed, claiming territories in North and South America as well as the Caribbean. This led to centuries of conflict as the powers vied for control and resources. Native populations were devastated by European diseases, and faced declining populations, loss of lands, and conflicts with the colonizers.
Aztec presentation
The Aztecs built their capital, Tenochtitlan, on islands in Lake Texcoco in central Mexico. They constructed houses from grass and mud and built extensive networks of roads, canals, temples, and palaces connected by causeways. The Aztecs developed a complex society with a strong government ruled by an emperor, a common language using glyphs and codices, and a tribute-based economic system. However, their empire was eventually conquered in the 1520s by the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés and his allies, bringing an end to the powerful Aztec civilization.
The Aztecs
The capital city of the Aztec empire, Tenochtitlan, was built on islets in Lake Texcoco and had a symmetrical layout divided into four sections. The city was interlaced with canals useful for transportation and featured a Great Pyramid. The Aztecs cultivated cocoa beans to make chocolate drinks and spoke the Nahuatl language, while their principal food was a cornmeal pancake called a tlaxcalli.
Aztec powerpoint !
The Aztec civilization originated in Mexico and built the great city of Tenochtitlan in the Valley of Mexico. By the early 1500s, Tenochtitlan had grown to a large urban center and capital city of the powerful Aztec Empire, which controlled most of modern-day Mexico. However, the Aztec Empire began to decline due to factors such as disease, warfare and the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in the early 16th century.
Aztec Civilization
The Aztec civilization flourished in Mexico from around 1250-1522 AD. They built their capital, Tenochtitlan, on an island in Lake Texcoco and developed an advanced agricultural system using chinampas, or floating gardens. The Aztecs had a hierarchical social structure led by an emperor and ruled through conquest and tribute from neighboring tribes. They practiced human sacrifice on a large scale, sacrificing thousands each year to appease the sun god Huitzilopochtli. In 1519, the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes arrived seeking gold and converts to Christianity. Cortes took the Aztec emperor Montezuma II hostage and most of the Aztec population later died from warfare
Aztecs
The document provides information about the Aztec civilization. It describes how the Aztecs found the fertile Valley of Mexico as a place to settle. It discusses the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, which was built on an island in Lake Texcoco, and how the Aztecs constructed chinampas or small islands to expand the city. The document also notes that the Aztec Empire received tribute including food, gems, and animals from conquered peoples and used this tribute to feed the large population of the capital city.

Spain and Portugal built colonies in the Americas through conquest and exploitation of native peoples. They divided the land into provinces ruled by viceroys, established churches to convert locals, and tightly controlled trade. While gold and silver mining was important, plantations using encomienda labor and later African slaves produced sugar and other crops. Over time, the colonies developed diverse multi-ethnic societies and economies.

Soc studies #6 spanish explorers
Spanish conquistadors like Hernan Cortes and Francisco Pizarro led expeditions in the early 1500s that conquered the Aztec and Inca empires and established Spain's control over Mexico and Peru. European diseases devastated indigenous populations. The Spanish established three main settlement types: presidios (forts), missions (religious communities), and pueblos (towns). A social hierarchy developed with Spanish-born elites at the top and Native Americans and African slaves facing exploitation, slavery, and oppression at the bottom.
Colonial culture and society latin america 5th grade
This document summarizes the social divisions and classes in colonial Chilean society. At the top were Spanish colonists who dominated politically and economically, replicating the European social order. Below them were Creole elites born in Chile to Spanish parents who also held power. Mestizos, with mixed Spanish-indigenous ancestry, mostly worked in agriculture, mining, and trades. Indigenous people lived rurally and some adopted Spanish culture, often working in forced labor. African slaves and their descendants held the lowest social status with no rights. Over time, mixing between ethnic groups increased through the process of mestizaje, creating a more multiracial society but one still stratified along racial and ethnic lines.
Atlantic slave trade
The document outlines the evolution and growth of the transatlantic slave trade between Africa and the Americas from the 16th to 19th centuries. It notes that while slavery has ancient origins, the scale increased with European demand for labor in their new colonies. Over 9.5 million African slaves were transported across the Atlantic during this period, primarily to work brutal conditions on plantations in the West Indies and American South growing cash crops like sugar, tobacco, and coffee. The Middle Passage during this transportation resulted in horrific conditions for slaves as they were forcibly held in cramped ship hulls, often enduring beatings, disease, and many deaths along the voyage.
Atlantic slave trade
The document outlines the evolution and growth of the transatlantic slave trade between Africa and the Americas from the 16th to 19th centuries. It notes that while slavery has ancient origins, the scale increased with European demand for labor in mines and plantations in the Americas. Over 9.5 million African slaves were transported during this period, through the notorious "Middle Passage" in which slaves endured horrific conditions as they were shipped across the Atlantic in the holds of slave ships. The triangular trade routes that developed were a major economic force, exchanging slaves for raw materials and finished goods between Africa, the Americas, and Europe.
10 new world and columbian exchange reading
The document discusses the results of the Age of Exploration following Columbus' voyage to the Americas in 1492. It notes that over 2,000 English words have Native American origins, including common words like barbecue, hammock, and hurricane. It also discusses how Europeans introduced new crops, minerals, and goods to the Americas and brought horses, cattle, and pigs, while devastating native populations through disease and warfare. Over the centuries, this exchange of people, plants, animals, technologies, and ideas fundamentally reshaped societies on both sides of the Atlantic.

Spanish, French, and English Colonies
The document provides information about European exploration and colonization of North America by Spain, France, and England between the 15th and 17th centuries. It details their motivations, settlement patterns, relationships with native populations, and differences in governing colonial territories. Spain focused on plantations in the Caribbean and Mexico using native and slave labor. France established trading posts along waterways to trade furs with natives. England set up religious and profit-driven colonies along the Atlantic coast and pushed native groups off their lands.
Chapter 17 world history
The document discusses the diversity of colonial societies in North and South America between 1530-1770. It describes how European colonization introduced diseases that devastated indigenous populations. Europeans also brought food crops, livestock, and institutions from the Old World. In Spanish and Portuguese colonies, the Catholic Church worked to convert indigenous groups while exploiting their labor. Economies were based on mining and plantations using encomienda, mita, and slave labor systems. British colonies developed economies around tobacco, rice, fur trading, fishing and mixed farming. Colonies were diverse with influences from different European groups and interactions with indigenous populations.
New 19 Ppt Based On Bently
The document summarizes the early history of Latin America following the Spanish and Portuguese conquests in the 15th-16th centuries. It describes how the Iberian powers established control over large empires through the conquests of the Aztec and Inca, and then established systems of rule including viceroyalties. It discusses the multicultural societies that emerged, with Europeans, indigenous peoples, and enslaved Africans occupying different social classes. The economies were based around mining for gold and silver and the establishment of haciendas, encomiendas, and sugar plantations that relied on forced indigenous and slave labor.
South america
South America is the 4th largest continent, located mostly in the tropics, with coastlines along the Atlantic, Pacific, and Caribbean Seas. It contains three main physical regions - the Andes Mountains, plains, and the lowlands and plateaus of Brazil. The continent was dominated by indigenous civilizations like the Inca prior to European colonization starting in the 15th century. Today, most countries in South America have left-leaning governments, Spanish and Portuguese are the dominant languages, and the economies rely heavily on natural resource extraction and agriculture.
El impero en america
Spain organized its New World Empire through expeditions of conquest and exploration. Hernán Cortés conquered the Aztec Empire and Francisco Pizarro conquered the Inca Empire. Expeditions also explored regions like the Amazon rainforest. America was divided into the Viceroyalties of New Spain and Peru, ruled by viceroys from the Spanish aristocracy. Trade between Spain and America benefited both, with Spain exporting goods like horses and wheat and America exporting silver and crops. The Spanish Empire established haciendas, trading houses, and sent priests to evangelize the indigenous people and establish Catholicism. Society was stratified, with Spanish occupying the top, mestizos and indigenous peoples below, and enslaved Africans

Atlantic World
1) In the late 15th and early 16th centuries, European powers such as Spain, Portugal, France, and England established colonies in the Americas and traded goods between Europe, Africa, and the Americas in triangular trade networks.
2) Hernan Cortes and 600 men conquered the Aztec Empire in Mexico between 1519-1521 aided by superior weapons and Native American allies. Disease also wiped out many Native Americans.
3) By the 1700s, England had become the dominant power in North America, taking control of territories from other European nations like France and the Netherlands through conflicts such as the French and Indian War. The Atlantic slave trade brought over 400,000 enslaved Africans to North
Colonialism
Colonialism in America from the 17th to 19th centuries saw the colonies politically and economically dependent on European powers like Spain. Spain divided its colonies into administrative regions governed by viceroyalties. Colonial institutions represented absolute monarchical rule through entities like the Council of the Indies, Royal Audiencia, and viceroys who carried out the demands of the King. The primary economic activities in the colonies involved extracting natural resources like precious metals, agriculture, and the use of indigenous and slave labor in mines, plantations, and livestock/agricultural haciendas and estancias.
