History

During the 1500s, Spain expanded its colonial empire to the Philippines in the Far East and to areas in the Americas that later became the United States. The Spanish dreamed of mountains of gold and silver and imagined converting thousands of eager Indians to Catholicism. In their vision of colonial society, everyone would know his or her place. Patriarchy (the rule of men over family, society, and government) shaped the Spanish colonial world. Women occupied a lower status. In all matters, the Spanish held themselves to be atop the social pyramid, with native peoples and Africans beneath them. Both Africans and native peoples, however, contested Spanish claims to dominance. Everywhere the Spanish settled, they brought devastating diseases, such as smallpox, that led to a horrific loss of life among native peoples. European diseases killed far more native inhabitants than did Spanish swords.  The world native peoples had known before the coming of the Spanish was further upset by Spanish colonial practices. The Spanish imposed the encomienda system in the areas they controlled. Under this system, authorities assigned Indian workers to mine and plantation owners with the understanding that the recipients would defend the colony and teach the workers the tenets of Christianity. In reality, the encomienda system exploited native workers. It was eventually replaced by another colonial labor system, the repartimiento, which required Indian towns to supply a pool of labor for Spanish overlords.

VERY SHORT SUMMARY OF THAT:

In their outposts at St. Augustine and Santa Fe, the Spanish never found the fabled mountains of gold they sought. They did find many native people to convert to Catholicism, but their zeal nearly cost them the colony of Santa Fe, which they lost for twelve years after the Pueblo Revolt. In truth, the grand dreams of wealth, conversion, and a social order based on Spanish control never came to pass as Spain envisioned them.

Answer: One of the most accomplished conquistadors was Hernán Cortés, who led a relatively small Spanish force, but with local translators and the crucial support of thousands of native allies, achieved the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in the campaigns of 1519-1521 (present day Mexico).

Explanation: This involved an exchange of plants, goods, ideas, and diseases from Europe to the Americas. This exchange benefitted Europeans more than Native Americans because Europeans spread smallpox , a deadly disease, to Native Americans when they came into contact with them.

6 How does the United States limit the power of its government? TIME REMAININ 54:01 i. Government officials are subject to the l
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

All of the following options are in effect to ensure the government does not have too much power.

<u>Option I:</u>
Government officials are indeed subject to the law, they're not above it nor are they allowed to break the law without facing repercussions.

<u>Option II:</u>
Government officials are held accountable for their actions which is true. Government officials are at risk to be impeached, which is to be removed from their position if they break any laws.

<u>Option III:</u>
Limitations are placed on how long government officials can serve, which is indeed true. Government officials aren't allowed to serve for long periods of time, they're usually allowed to serve for a few years then a new government official is voted into office.

<u>Option IV:</u>
The government is divided into branches which is again true. This is called separations of powers which was put into place to ensure the government doesn't have all the power. So, the government was spilt into three different branches and checks and balances ensures that each branch doesn't gain more power than the other.

Which means your answer is option D "i., il., iii., and iv" or all of the above.

Hope this helps.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The diversion of the Fourth Crusade from the Holy Land to attack, capture, and pillage the Byzantine city of Constantinople divided and dissipated the efforts of the Christians to maintain the war against the Muslims. It is widely regarded as a shocking betrayal of principles out of greed.
