Causes of the Defeat of the Aztecs Alliances The Spanish had made allies in the region who gave them supplies, information, and warriors. (Tlaxcala) Motivation: Revenge Privileged status Survival

Causes of the Defeat of the Aztecs Weapons The Spanish had better weapons than the Aztecs. They had cannons, armor, swords, and horses that the Aztecs did not have.

Causes of the Defeat of the Aztecs Geography: The Spanish were able to cut off the capital city. The people had no food or water, so many Aztecs died of starvation.

Causes of the Defeat of the Aztecs Disease The Spanish had unknowingly brought deadly diseases such as smallpox to the Americas. Cuitlahuac: Aztec ruler after Moctezuma Died of Smallpox

Conquest of the Incas Francisco Pizarro: 1532 “There lies Peru with its riches; here Panama with its poverty. Choose each man what best becomes a brave Castilian”. Motivation: Gold, Wealth

Creoles: people born in America to Spanish Parents( Educated, worked in Universities and Law. Mestizos: people with mixed Spanish and Indian background.( Farmers, Carpenters, Tailors) Natives: people with 100% native background- treated as a conquered people

The Encomiendia System Spanish gave Spanish Nobility a specific number of natives to look after. Instruct them on the Spanish language. Protect natives from warring tribes. Teach them Christianity. In return, Spanish could extract gold, silver or other products like corn, chickens or wheat.

End of Encomiendia Came to an end when Spanish missionaries began to protest the abuse of Natives. Replaced with a new system where natives where directly employed.
