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.

Which of the following was a mercantilist practice that angered American colonists?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Having to pay high duties on foreign sugar and molasses.

Explanation:

During the colonial era, especially from the mid-1700s, Britain began to carry out increasingly protectionist policies regarding its production, framed in the mercantilist concept of economic production. Mercantilism, in short, established that the wealth of a country is mediated in terms of its production of resources and its territorial extension, which allowed nations to accumulate wealth.

In this context, the British government began to prohibit its colonies from trading with other European nations (as this would benefit their economies), establishing commercial monopolies in the colonies, which implied a huge loss of rights on the part of the colonists, harming their economic and political freedoms.
