Power partnerthsip and partiton

four imperal powers

Spain

french and dutch

all built colonial powers but looked quite different - had diff tactisc to reach their colonial goals all roads leead to ecnomoic prosperity


Spain saw colonil wealth through power and control over indiegnous people

french and dutch saw colonial wealth through partnerships

british saw colonial wealth through partition or seperating themselves

Although they all had the same end goal their methods were different and that in turn changed how each one look and felt

Spain

their main goal was to extract wealth

  • mining for gold and silver

  • cash crops from enslaves labour

  • atuhtorian power and wanted all the pwoer

  • used the encomienda system - fancy way of saying slavery

  • - the whole point of the encomienda system is that Spain granted ecnomdieros land who then forced indigenous people to work in return for protection and Christianization

  • encomiendors did not own the land

  • bartoleme de las casas - no encomiendda system

  • rebellious encomderos

  • spanish come up with another system with Hacienda system- main spanish labour system in the americas after New laws in 1542

  • Hacienda system -in common commandos did own large track of land and the indigenous people living on them were not technically enslaved however, the laborers were kind of tied to land in debt repayment system

  • The Spanish second chapter was conversion to Christianity

  • - Don juan de oñate sub Pueblo peoples he established the capital of Jose and he also had missionaries behind him to set up a mission system

  • At first indigenous people did convert to Christianity and added Christ to their gods, but one of the main principles of Christianity is that there is only one God

  • Because the Spanish priests did not allow the indigenous people to practice both their religion and Christianity beliefs, the people of the Pueblo revolted in 1680 they killed a bunch of Spaniards destroyed every church in the area

  • Because Spain was all about power and domination they came back and got their revenge but they also showed out a little bit and let them have a little bit more for religious freedom

  • Their third tactic was a new social order where they created a caste system the system was a social hierarchy that was determined by their white blood, but it gets complicated at the very top of the hierarchy was pure blood in Spanish and the very bottom was the Africans and people the inbetween

French/ Dutch : partnership
