Question

Regarding the spanish exploration of north and south america, identify and explain the unintended consequences the spanish planned for. in contrast, what were the unintended consequences

Answer 1

One of the main consequences of this exploration was the resistance of the indigenous inhabitants of especially the now Mexico in North America and of the now Peru of South America to conquest by the Spanish of the Aztecs and Incas and at least continued fighting for decades after by the Incas. Also, of course was the eventual wars of independence against Spanish rule which succeeded in the early 1800's to overthrow Spanish colonialism.
