Statement first is true in this regard because the Spanish had a caste system that included free Africans and former slaves. Cristopher Columbus established the “first Spanish colony” in America, in what now is Haiti and The Dominic Republic.
Since the beginning, Spanish used slavery from Indigenous people in the Americas and they also brought black Africans. Spanish had “Castas”, the equivalent of racial and social hierarchies. Spanish considered slaves inferior beings.
Answer:
The answer is, Isolationist.
Explanation:
Isolationism is the foreign policy that was adopted by the USA after the American Revolution.
However, this did not mean that USA disengaged from the affairs of the world and alienated themselves.
It simply meant that as a new nation, USA was not interested in political confrontations with other nations due to their differing political view points. But in the years after the revolution, USA made strong commercial and trade alliances, ties and pacts with many European nations such as Britain, France, Spain and Italy.
In addition, the isolationist policy kept USA away from many of the conflicts, wars and alliances in Europe, allowing USA more time and resources to be used for their domestic development and prosper.
Answer:
1. Cortes marched up the coast of Mexico and conquered Veracruz
2. Cortes established alliances with enemies of the Aztecs
3. Moctezuma II welcomed the Spanish
4. Cortes and his men brought smallpox to Tenochtitlan
Explanation:
Cortes first arrived in the south of Mexico and had a brief encounter with the Maya. From there he continued up the coast until he reached Veracruz where he founded the first Spanish settlement. It was here that Cortes learned of the powerful Aztecs and about the many enemies they had among the prehispanic groups that had been conquered by them. Cortes had very few men with him so he knew he could not defeat the powerful Aztec empire alone. He decides to make alliances with the Tlaxcaltecans and begins his march towards Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital. When the Spanish finally arrive, Moctezuma welcomes them (though it's not true that he thought Cortes was the reincarnation of Quetzalcoatl, that is an incorrect interpretation). Meanwhile, a new fleet of Spanish ships arrived in Veracruz and made their way to Tenochtitlan. One of the men in this group was sick and began the massive smallpox epidemic that wiped out around half of the indigenous population.
