This article talks nothing about why and how Spain conquered America in the 15th and 16th century.
The independence of most American countries did not even happen until the 18th century
anyway…
Spanish colonization methods included the forceful conversion of indigenous populations to Christianity. The “Orders to the Twelve” Franciscan friars in 1523, urged that the natives be converted using military force if necessary.
That is documented history. Not myths or exaggerations. That shit happened. And it wasn’t any different from the crusades.
The only reason Christianity today is not able to do that shit is because it got divided into several sects that contradict each other, such as morons, sorry, mormons, catholics, presbyterians, lutherans, etc.
Lol oh no your lying again the missionaries defended the natives from the Spanish lol
As historian Herbert Bolton says, “missionaries became a veritable corps of Indian agents, serving both Church and State. The double capacity in which they served was made easier and more natural by the close union between Church and State in Spanish America” (45). Although the role of missionaries was facilitated by the intimacy between the Catholic Church and Spain’s government, Spanish Catholic missionaries also held a tenuous position because they worked as both agents of colonization and as defenders of native peoples. This module explores how Spanish missionaries interacted with and represented native peoples by using an eighteenth-century 'Our Americas’ Archive Partnership document “Guevara’s Report to His Excellency, the Viceroy, regarding the Seno Mexicano missions made in the year 1756.” For AP history classes, it would be helpful for teaching lessons on religion, diversity, colonialism, and Native American history.
Franciscan missionaries were the first to arrive in New Spain, in 1523, following the Cortes expeditions in Mexico, and soon after began establishing missions across the continents.[2][3] The Franciscan missionaries were split evenly and sent to Mexico, Texcoco, and Tlaxcala.[4]:138In addition to their primary goal of spreading Christianity, the missionaries studied the native languages, taught children to read and write, and taught adults trades such as carpentry and ceramics.
Pedro de Gante was a Flemish Franciscan missionary who desired assimilation of Native American communities to further educational discourse amongst indigenous communities. He was so influential in his work, he became known as “The first teacher of the Americas”.[5]Originally, Peeter Van der Moere, Pedro de Gante, came to New Spain, in 1523 also known as Mexico. A missionary, Pedro de Gante, wanted to spread the Christian faith to his native brothers and sisters. During this time, the mentality of the Spanish people proscribed empowering the indigenous people with knowledge
