From 1492 to the 1800s, Spanish explorers were the bullies of the New World. Beginning with Columbus in 1492 and continuing for nearly 350 years, Spain conquered and settled most of South America, the Caribbean, and the American Southwest. Yeah, they kept themselves busy.
They went on safety systems, being resourceful on food and water +live stock. They lowered payment for workers. They increased taxes. hope this helps :P
