Question

How did the Spanish search for gold impact the Aztec and Inca who were living in the Americas at the time?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Spanish were so greedy for gold that they did not stop to think of what they were doing, they treated the native people terribly, killing them for sport in some cases. They also made the natives their slaves and forced them to hand over all their treasured possessions, especially gold and salt that were very, very valuable at the time.
