Sharp decrease in numbers of native Indians.

One of the main reasons why Spanish conquistadors had to look for slaves from Africa, was the radical decrease in the populations of native Indians. The Indians had either died out of diseases or during the war of conquest. In addition, inter marriages had also occurred, and usually the mestizos were exempted from months of forced hard labor in the farms and the mines. However the main cause of decline of populations of native Indians was diseases such as small pox which the Spanish colonists had brought with them.

ra1l [238]

The main weapon that enabled the Europeans to conquer vast amounts of territories in distance lands was all the new sicknesses that were brought along with them. As stated in the book Guns, Germs and Steel written by <em>Jared Diamond</em> in 1997. The author explains that the Europeans had the technological advances of the era, such as gun powder, rifles, and cannons, but their most devastating weapon was the side effect of their presence, the presence of foreign bacteria to new populations.
