The European Conquest of the Americas: Columbus to Magellan and the Impact of Colonization

This presentation explores the European conquest of the Americas, beginning with Christopher Columbus's voyages in the late 15th century and Ferdinand Magellan's circumnavigation of the globe. It examines the early Spanish conquests of the Aztecs and Incas, the tragic demise of leaders like Montezuma II and Atahualpa, and the Columbian Exchange—a significant event that reshaped ecosystems and societies. The impact of mercantilism, the colonial class system, and the role of the Catholic Church in the Americas, as well as the effects of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, are also discussed.
