Latin American History
Spanish Conquest and the Conquistadors
Spain conquered a region that stretched from western North America to the southern tip of South America. The needs and wishes of the native populations was rarely taken into account in her drive to control this vast region.
Conquistador (pronounced /kɒŋˈkwɪstədɔr/ or IPA: /kɒnˈkistədɔr/ in English; Spanish pronunciation: [koŋkistaˈðor] "conqueror") is the name given to the Spanish soldiers, leaders, explorers, and adventurers involved in the conquest of the Americas following the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus in 1492. The leaders of the conquest of the Aztec Empire were Hernan Cortes and Pedro de Alvarado y Contreras. Francisco Pizarro led the conquest of the Incan Empire. Source: Wikipedia
