Rich in resources and natural beauty, the Americas were irresistible to gold-hungry conquistadors. The newcomers gave little thought to those who had called the lands home, and exploration soon came to signify conquest. The New Worldand the lives of its inhabitantswould be changed forever.

Extractions: Spanish Discovery and Colonization The four voyages of Christopher Columbus (between 1492 and 1504) served to open the door to European exploration, colonization and exploitation of the New World, although Columbus himself never set foot in North America. By the time the English began active colonization, the Spanish had already explored large portions of North America, especially in the South and Southwest. The Spanish explorers encountered three major civilizations in the New World: the Incas in present-day Peru and the Mayans and Aztecs in Mexico and Central America. The conquistadors were truly amazed by what they foundimmense wealth in gold and silver, complex cities rivaling or surpassing those in Europe, and remarkable artistic and scientific achievements. Spanish conquest in the New World was driven by the three 'G'sgold, glory, and gospel. In his drive to gather riches, Columbus (and later conquistadors) enslaved and decimated the local populations. The numbers of these Native Americans plummeted, in part because of war against the colonial forces, but also because of the introduction of diseases to which the natives had no natural immunity. The natives contracted malaria, smallpox and measles from the Europeans, but passed on syphilis to the invaders in a morbid exchange. In 1494, shortly after Columbus first voyage, the pope divided the newly discovered lands between Spain and Portugal. The

Extractions: Licentiate Cepada, Spanish Provincial Judge After waiting for years to fulfill his dream of leaving Spain to see the New World, a man named President La Gasca finally received his opportunity. Prior to his departure however, he received a letter from Licentiate Cepeda, a judge in one of the Spanish provinces in the New World. In his letter Cepeda cautioned his friend that, despite his eagerness to see the wonders of this hemisphere, the conditions of settlement were not what he perhaps expected. Cepeda warned, "They live not like kings(Cepeda 13)." The idea that the Spanish Conquistadors lived lavishly upon the labor and exploitation of the indigenous population has long been the typical conception of life in the New World. This perception is not entirely accurate. While the Spanish did indeed live off the exploitation of the Indians, it was not always a lavish lifestyle and certainly not at first. The conditions initially faced by the conquistadors were filled with struggle against the natural elements, financial difficulty, threat of violence and the necessity to adapt to the conditions of this "New World." These factors, along with the conquistadors close interaction with the indigenous people created a new type of culture, and a new class of elite, far different from that which they left behind in Europe. The Conquistadors first arrived in the Andean region in early decades of the 16th century. In the Spanish push across Central America to the Pacific coast in 1513, a young captain named Francisco Pizarro gained invaluable experience that would eventually help him earn the infamous reputation as the Conquistador of the Inca. In 1526, these Conquistadors led their own exploration from Panama to the Andes and into contact with the Inca Realm(Gabai 15). By 1532, Inca Atahuaplla had been captured and the Spanish presence was entrenched enough to bring the first wave of settlement to populate their expanding empire.

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.

Extractions: Bristol Mariners seem to have visited Canada in the 1480s, and Christopher Columbus may have learned of, and been inspired by, their voyages. In 1492, William Ayers, an Irishman undoubtedly familiar with English activities, sailed with Columbus on the Santa Maria. In 1497 and 1498 John Cabot, like Columbus a Genoese expatriate, explored eastern Canada under the English flag. By 1502 Englishmen were trading in Newfoundland and parts south, and organizing syndicates, some involving Azorean Portuguese, to exploit the fisheries there. England did not miss the entire European rediscovery of the Western Hemisphere, but did retire early. While England slept, Spain became dominant in the New World and on the high seas. In 1493, during his second voyage, Columbus founded Isabela, the first permanent Spanish settlement in the New World, on Hispaniola. After finding gold in recoverable quantities nearby, the Spanish quickly overran the island and spread to Puerto Rico in 1508, to Jamaica in 1509, and to Cuba in 1511. The natives fared badly. Many died in one-sided armed conflict with soldiers and settlers, or in forced servitude in mines and on plantations. Others died of diseases to which they had no immunity. By mid-century, the native Ciboney of Hispaniola and western Cuba were extinct, and other tribes, including the Arawak of Puerto Rico, were nearly so. Beginning in 1508, Spanish settlements sprang up on the mainland of Central and South America. In 1519, just six years after Balboa had crossed the Isthmus of Panama and claimed the entire Pacific Ocean for Spain, Pedro Arias de Avila, Balboa's father-in-law and executioner, founded the city of Panama on the
