Answer:

Wealth, gold, property and women.

Explanation:

The discovery of America in 1492 by Christopher Columbus under the Spanish flag was a cultural shock for both indigenous and Europeans. Ultimately, they were two totally different cultures and idiosyncracies, based on totally dissimilar concepts, religions and customs and on conceptions of nature, life, society and politics that had no points of connection between them.

Thus, Columbus was greatly surprised to see that the natives wore pendants of precious stones and metals such as gold as if they were simple ornaments, downplaying the wealth they implied for Europeans. Furthermore, the property system itself was different and was based on collective property, rather than the private individual property of Europeans. Even the role of women in native societies was shocking for Europeans, since they had an egalitarian role that was very different from Europe, where women were socially relegated behind men.

How does de Las Casas portray Natuve Americans?what did they think of the Spanish according to him ?
kow [346]

Answer:

He portrays them as naïve, innocent children. It apparently took them a while to figure out that the Spanish were not on a “Mission from Heaven.” The Indians are essentially defenseless against the Spanish, and when they do take up arms, their weapons resemble those of boys.
