Spain controlled a huge empire by the mid-1500s. It divided the conquered lands into four provinces. The king appointed viceroys to rule in the provinces and established the Council of the Indies to monitor them. Map of Spanish empire, WH: p. 485. Note this map appears in the book after Section 2, but I still think it is useful to show students how vast Spanish holdings were. 5

One of Spain’s main goals in the Americas was to spread Christianity. As a result, Church leaders shared authority with royal officials. Missionaries built churches and introduced European clothing and the Spanish language. 6

Spain closely controlled trade throughout its empire. Colonists could export raw material only to Spain. They could only buy Spanish manufactured goods. Trade with other European nations was forbidden by law.

Sugar cane was introduced to the West Indies and became profitable. It was grown on plantations that needed a large number of workers. The Spanish used an encomienda system, in which labor could be demanded from Native Americans in mines and on plantations. But the native population had fallen. Decline of Native American population graph, WH: p. 498.

Decline of Native American population graph, WH: p. 498.

Not everyone agreed that Spanish treatment of the Native Americans was fair. A priest named Bartolomé de Las Casas condemned the encomienda system and pleaded with the king to end it. Spain passed the New Laws of the Indies in 1542. Many natives were still forced to become peons, or workers forced to labor to pay off debts.

The Spanish started bringing millions of Africans to the Americas by the 1530s. They were forced to work as slaves in the fields, mines, and households of landowners. European, African, and Native American cultures began to blend together to form a distinct culture in the Spanish colonies. Clip art handshake

Cultural blending changed people’s lives in the Americas. Food, religion, clothing, dance, songs, styles of building, and farming methods were all exchanged. A mixed race colonial family, WH: p. 480. Population of Spanish America, WH: p. 480.

In addition, the composition of the population shifted. A mixed race colonial family, WH: p. 480. Population of Spanish America, WH: p. 480.

Spanish colonial society was made up of layered social classes. peninsulares People born in Spain creoles American-born descendants of Spanish settlers mestizos and mulattoes Those of Native American and European descent and people of African and European descent, respectively Native American and African Those whose heritage did not include Europeans

The cities were lively centers of government, commerce, and cultural expression. Mexico City became the largest Spanish-speaking city in the world by 1550. The University of Mexico was established by 1551. Spanish settlers lived in towns and cities and established universities.

Portugal claimed an empire in the east part of the continent in 1494. The country issued grants of land to nobles, and settlers came to build towns and plantations. They cut and exported brazilwood, raised cattle, and ran plantations. Portuguese colony in Brazil, WH: p. 485.
