The conquest of Peru, the last and richest of the great colonial prizes which fell to Spain during the reign of Charles V, was not an unmixed blessing. No community has ever been ethically advantaged by participation in a gold rush. The Spaniards of the sixteenth century, who caught the gold and silver fever before philanthropic ideals had been properly organized and brought to bear upon the problems of industry, were no exception to this rule. They quarrelled among themselves and submitted the miserable and helpless natives of the country to a most grinding oppression. Money was mistaken for wealth and the true foundations of economic prosperity were ignored. Demoralized themselves, the treasure-hunters of Peru spread the taint of their merciless avarice through the body politic of Spain.

This process can be contrasted to more selective logging in which only selected trees are cut down. Clear-cutting can lead to many problems, including soil erosion and loss of animal habitat. Cold War: a struggle between the United States and its allies against the Soviet Union and its allies from 1945 to approximately 1990. Although it did not involve direct fighting between these two sides, Cold War-related violence did break out in other parts of the world. For instance, in Central America, groups receiving aid from the United States fought against those receiving aid from the Soviet Union.

Extractions: Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo led the first European expedition to explore what is now the west coast of the United States. Cabrillo departed from the port of Navidad, Mexico, on June 27, 1542. Three months later he arrived at "a very good enclosed port." That port is known today as San Diego bay. Historians believe he anchored his flagship, the San Salvador, on Point Loma's east shore near Cabrillo National Monument. Cabrillo later died during the expedition, but his crew pushed on, possibly as far north as Oregon, before thrashing winter storms forced them to back to Mexico. More information about Cabrillo and the expedition is presented below. Cabrillo National Monument, established in 1913, commemorates Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo's voyage of discovery. A heroic statue of Cabrillo looks out over the bay that he first sailed into on September 28, 1542. A film, "In Search of Cabrillo," and an exhibit hall present Cabrillo's life and times each day at the Visitor Center. Ranger-led programs about Cabrillo are usually available on weekends and on many weekdays during summer months. So Who Was Cabrillo?

Extractions: Exploration and Conquest The group of Spaniards that first came to the New World consisted of conquistadors, administrators, and Roman Catholic clergy. The adventurous conquistadors were risk-taking entrepreneurs, financing their own expeditions in the expectation of being able to get rich quick. The administrators were appointed by and represented the crown in the colonies and sought to maintain the New World colonies as a source of wealth and prestige for the Spanish Empire. The clergy sought to save the souls of the native Indians, and in the process they acquired land and wealth for the church. The conquistadors, who felt they owed nothing to the crown, often came into conflict with the latter's attempts to centralize and strengthen its authority over the colonies. In what became present-day Colombia, the conquistadors explored and began to settle the coastal areas. The first explorers to round the coast of the Guajira Peninsula and enter Colombian territory were Alonso de Ojeda in 1499 and Rodrigo de Bastidas in 1500. In 1510 Ojeda founded Santa María la Antigua de Darién (present-day Acandí) on the western side of the Golfo de Urabá. Bastidas established Santa Marta in 1525. In 1533 another explorer, Pedro de Heredia, organized Cartagena after pacifying the Indians in the area. These coastal cities served as havens from Indian attacks and as bases for exploratory expeditions into the interior. In addition, Cartagena linked the colonies with the motherland and became a focal point of intercontinental travel.

From Columbus' first footfall in 1492 (when he believed he had merely discovered a new route to the Old World) until the mid-seventeenth century (when European trade with and settlements in the New World were well-established), we explore the varied and contradictory representations of the land that came to be called 'America'. We study conquistadors' accounts of the conquest of America where, for example, the land is represented as a virgin to be penetrated and the indigenous inhabitants are described as animals or slaves to be put to work or killed. We look at the ways American dreams turned to nightmares by focusing on the European debate about human rights because of New World atrocities. We then turn to look at the uses English explorers made of the so-called 'Black Legend' concerning Spanish treatment of indigenous Americans in order to further their own territorial ambitions. We look at the ways English colonists, like the Spanish before them, represented their relationship with 'America' sexually as they searched for the gold of the fabled Eldorado. We also explore other fantasies that English writers used to represent America. A central concern of this module is the relationship between 'real' and 'imagined' versions of American life in this period.

Extractions: The resurgence of trade following the Middle Ages in Europe resulted in a demand for goods from Asia. Trade routes were established across the Mediterranean and through the Middle East to handle this need. But, when the expansion of the Ottoman Empire caused disruption along these routes, Europeans were forced to seek alternative ways of importing these goods. This led to the exploration of water routes to Asia, and eventually the discovery of the Americas by the Europeans. Reconquista

Extractions: European Disease in the New World When the explorers first stepped foot onto their ships to embark on journeys to new and far away lands, their numerous diseases traveled with them. The consequences of their health for the "discovered" people were probably not taken into consideration. Their rationale focused largely on the speculation of how much they could get of whatever they found, in return for their progressive technologies and religious beliefs. Any other impact was irrelevant. They could easily have believed that in the end, everyone would win. Yet regardless of the exact nature of the intentions of the Europeans, the reality is that multiple contagious diseases were transmitted from European explorers to New World populations. Already devastating diseases became even worse during life at sea. Due to unsanitary conditions and rotten food, the spread of disease among passengers accelerated, (http://ndhrcanada.visions.ab.ca/disease.htm). Upon their arrival to the new land, the Europeans were infested with cholera, typhus, smallpox, measles, typhoid, diphtheria, plague, influenza, tuberculosis, venereal disease, and scarlet fever, all diseases to which the people of the New World possessed no immunity. The forced contact between the two peoples made the transmission of these contagious diseases unavoidable. The results were quick and disastrous. Historians have estimated that in Canada, "within a 200- year period, First Nations populations were reduced by as much as 95 percent," (http://ndhrcanada.visions.ab.ca/disease.htm) as a result of European-originated disease.

Extractions: Explore an Explorer! Since the beginning of time people have explored. Explorers wanted to know more about the land around them. Thousands of years ago, the Native Americans came from Asia across the land bridge to a new world. They spent centuries exploring this new land and building new civilizations and empires. In the late 1400s, Europeans "discovered" this "New World" by accident while they were trying to find a shorter route to the Indies. Thanks to those great explorers we have lots of information on maps today! There were many different explorers that came from many different lands. No one went exploring just to keep busy. There were many different reasons why those brave explorers took off into the unknown. You and your partner will get the chance to read about several explorers, then you will choose one that you and your partner are interested in learning more about.
