The mining of precious metals was a huge achievement for man
    The vast majority of gold was coming out of Africa. Around 60% of all silver was mined in present-day Mexico.
The precious metals were being exported to Europe and Asia

32.     Spain was amongst the first European nations to discover the Silver mines.
    Spain had a large amount of silver and gold being imported each year.
Also around the 1600’s Spain experienced a steady growth in the population.

33.    Because of the increase in Spain’s population and their intense desire to mine metals, Spain did not have enough of a food supply, which caused prices to rise (inflation)
Because Spain now had to charge more money for their supplies they were no longer able to be competitive in the international trading market

People living on fixed incomes were hurt badly because their money was worth less in this competitive market
