Useful LINKS for Florida of the Conquistadors OF MONARCHY AND MERCANTILISM Unknown to the Indians of Florida, their destiny was being determined by political and economic forces taking place across the Atlantic Ocean in Europe. At the end of the fifteenth century, thousands of daring adventurers would be crossing the ocean to conquer within a few centuries what had taken the Indians thousands to years to inhabit. This "Age of Exploration" was fostered by the development of maritime technology and the belief in an economic philosophy called mercantilism which decreed that a nation that was not self-sufficient will be dominated by its neighbors. At first, it was trade with the Middle East that determined this wealth, but with the discovery in 1492 for another hemisphere by Christopher Columbus, the need to travel west to the Americas became the focus. GOLD, GLORY, AND GOD The conquistadors of Spain who ventured into the lands of the Indians were motivated by many forces. The discovery of gold in Mexico and Peru caused thousands of impoverished Spanish peasants to join the military. Under the rules of

Gold! Gold! is a four-part series that explores the history of gold and its impact on civilization. The Gold Wars This episode of Gold! examines the ways in which the desire and lust for gold has fueled various wars throughout history. Because of humankind's greed and thirst for power, the quest for gold has resulted in untold numbers of lost lives. From the earliest days of ancient empires to the explorations of The New World, the search for the precious yellow metal has been a catalyst in historic events and the rise and fall of some of the world's mightiest empires. Gold! would be useful for classes on World History and Culture, American History and Culture, Economics, Geography and Military History. It is appropriate for middle school and high school. OBJECTIVES: Students will learn about the role of gold as an agent and catalyst in world history. They will explore how the quest for gold built and destroyed empires, and fueled the exploration of the New World. NATIONAL HISTORY STANDARDS: Gold! fulfills the following National Standards for History for grades 5-12: chronological thinking, historical comprehension, historical analysis and interpretations, and historical research capabilities for United States History era 1, 5 and 6; World History eras 6 and 7.

November, l992 Dr. Jane S. Day, Chief Curator Denver Museum of Natural History CONQUISTADORS IN THE OLD AND NEW WORLD 1492 was perhaps the most momentous year in all of Spainish history. Under the leadership of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile, Spain was united for the first time in 800 years and the last of the Moors had just been sucessfully defeated at Granada. In this same year under the urging of Torquemada, master of the Inquisition, an edict had been issued expelling the Jews from Spain. In addition, after six long years of waiting around the periphery of the royal court, Christopher Columbus had finally been given permission to set sail westward to search for the riches of the east Indies. The final battle was fought at Granada. It had been preceeded by the fall of two other major centers of Arab rule in the south, Malaga and Baza, which had weakened Granada's will to resist. The seige of this great fortress city began in April of 1491 and on Jan.2,1492, Granada surendered and the beautiful capital city opened its gates to the Spainards. Spain was on the Threshold of a new period of discovery amd nationalism. This fervent religious crusade of Christian against Moslem had taken 800 years to complete and the centuries of constant fighting had created a pool of soldiers and a mounted nobility that were little more than warlords. These men born to the saddle and the sword and acustomed to booty and living off the land, still burnedwith the wild religious fervour that had led to the victory over the Moors. When in 1492 the last battles had finally been won, conquistadors of the Spanish crusade were suddenly unemployed. These were men with little to lose and much to gain by adventuring in the New Worlds encountered by Columbus.

The Nobleman rode into Mundaka and demanded to see this local hero who had conquered the Mundaka Wall. For if he were a Conquistador of La Pared de Mundaka, then he was just the sort of person he needed to join his band to conquer the New World. The Mother and Son came before the Nobleman and when his eyes and the woman's eyes met after so many years, the Nobleman knew that the local hero was none other than his own son. Pride brimmed in the Nobleman's chest as he heard the tales and witnessed his son displaying his courage against the sea. Here was a brave lad that would bring honor to his family name on a trip to the New World. Some months later a small sailing ship full of hearty, lusty Conquistadors set out from Spain on a voyage of discovery, settlement, and plunder. As the months at sea finally passed, land was sighted in the west and Spanish Florida came into view.
