Answer:

D. Led to mistreatment if Native American workers

Explanation:

By a decree of the Spanish king in 1503, Indians, nominally considered free, were transferred to the guardianship of the conquerors, who were obliged to pay dues, to serve bondhold in mines and estates.

The owner of the encomienda (encomendero) was obliged to actively promote the conversion of the Indians to Christianity, their assimilation of a new "reasonal" lifestyle, i.e., similar to the way of life of the Spaniards themselves, and protect them in the event of a military threat. De jure, the encomienda was inalienable and did not give rights to either the land or the identity of the Indian. De facto encomendero had virtually unlimited power over his wards, which contributed to numerous abuses and brutal exploitation of the indigenous population.

I don't know what you're referring to, and don't think it was much different than defending against a number of well-armed, trained, and disciplined troops. If anything, the German Army in WWII was a really tough bunch. 

<span>Two things may show some differences, however, at least in the war in the Pacific. Japanese were far more willing to fight to the last man, rather than surrender, whereas most German units would stick the white flag up when it was clear that they had lost the engagement, and had no retreat. In "island hopping", the US also took on extremely fortified Japanese positions that were not destroyed with even massive bombing and naval fire</span>

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

C.E., the abbreviation for "Common Era" is used to mark time in the same way. B.C. means "before Christ" and B.C.E. stands for "Before the Common Era". Therefore, 1403 A.D. and 1403 C.E. are the same date as are 4000B.
