The correct answer is Option 1: Spain conquered and colonized much of

Latin America.

When the Americas were discovered, the Spanish were one of the first to colonize parts of South America and extend their Empire across the Ocean.

In a matter of few years, they were able to conquer large parts of the land, kill thousands of local and steal gold and other precious items.

In all this, the justification for colonization was always presented as a way to spread the message of God to the ''uncivilized barbarians''

Hence, once they economically and politically conquered a land, numerous missionaries were brought in to spread the message of the church.

Over hundreds of years, Christianity became the dominant religion in Latin America and today accounts for the largest Christian population anywhere in the world.

How did the women's march against apartheid end?

MrMuchimi

Answer:

Although African men had been required to carry passes for many decades, only in the 1950s did the government impose pass laws on African women. African women were not allowed to live in towns unless they had permission to be employed there, and extending pass laws to them made it more difficult for women without jobs to take their children and join their husbands in town. Across the country, dozens of protests against passing laws for African women took place before the Federation of South African Women (formed in 1955) and the African National Congress Women’s League organized a massive protest march in Pretoria.

On August 9, 1956, 20,000 women, representing all racial backgrounds, came from all over South Africa to march on the Union Buildings, where they stood in silent protest for 30 minutes while petitions with 100,000 signatures were delivered to the Prime Minister’s office. Many men in the anti-apartheid movement were surprised by the women’s militancy, and the protest contributed to women playing a bigger role in the struggle for freedom and democracy. August 9th now is celebrated as National Women’s Day in South Africa.
