The Spanish Claim to America: Colonization, Culture, and Consequences

In 1492, Christopher Columbus claimed America for Spain, initiating the colonization process. Colonists, known as New Spain, began new lives while remaining under Spanish rule. The "Conquistadors" followed, driven by the three G's: Gold, God, and Glory, significantly impacting the wealth and culture of Spain. This led to cultural exchanges, the introduction of Catholicism, and new place names in the U.S. The Columbian Exchange marked a complex interaction between Spanish settlers and Native Americans, involving both cooperation and the dark consequences of racial slavery and disease.
