Spain established a strong foothold in the Americas, in what ways was the Spanish able to assert its power in both secular and religious methods, in what ways was it successful? What were the internal and external factors that determined this?
Spain established a strong foothold in the Americas...
Having a King as a secular symbol of conquest was actually very relevant, among all social castes. It gave Peninsulares and Criollos status and defended indians from the excesses of their masters. In many ways, Latin Independence was traumatic. They genuinely believed in their link to the crown. This is why Mexico became an Empire.
Native women just opened their legs to have a baby from the Spaniards.Theit mutt descendants became extremelly loyal to compensate for their muttness as all mutts do,for example the americans and their patriotism
That is mostly true, but also ignores the fact that indians also had a strong loyalty to the crown. As it guaranteed them rights that the Criollos would have abused otherwise.
>in what ways was the Spanish able to assert its power in both secular and religious methods
small pox, measles, guns, horses, dishonest/bad faith dealings, and cultural arrogance
>in what ways was it successful?
Are they still Catholic and speaking Spanish?
They exploited rifts between the tribes, classic divide and conquer. Europeans were able to win the game of civilization through being less tribal and less individualistic than non-europeans.
>less tribal and less individualistic than non-europeans
Get a load of this guy.
The Spaniards cucked the native males
You don't have to be cucked by anyone when 95% of your village is ravaged by the pox and your relatives are rotting in a shallow grave being chewed on by dogs and birds.
>You don't have to be cucked by anyone when 95% of your village is ravaged by the pox
You have when you outnumber the invader 20 to 1 and still get conquered.
The Natives bowed to the Spanish crown
They got cucked, both Culturally and Genetically.
Afterwards, got cucked again by Anglo Interests to make Colonies Independant from the Spanish crown but opened to foreign influence.
The Native women wanted the spanish cock. That's all there is to it
Who the fuck cares what the ratio is? It could be 100:1, and it still means nothing when most of your civilization is literally barfing their bloody guts out.
Spanish cock is not very discerning. They'd fuck chimps if you played the reggaeton loud enough.
That didn't happen in South-America. There is a case of one of ex-nobility woman though.
>That didn't happen in South-America
Yeah sure.Colombians to this day are incredibly cringy about their Spanish heritage and being an "indio" is an insult in all of South America,in which Bolivians are loathed just because they are natives
Actually they are kinda right. Venezuelans and Colombians have a lot of spanish heritage. Natives being wiped out was supposed to happen all over the continent, remember the diseases fucked them over for centuries. In 1600s their population was reduced to less than 10% of its original numbers...
Only central andean zones managed to be isolated enough to die without getting mixed thanks to the mountainous terrain unlike mexicans (who also had a high density populations) and guatemalans.
Venezuelan behavior is similar to spaniards. I prefer them going to Argentina or Colombia. They like to brag about "mejorar la raza" (improve the race), and being "echaitos palante" (thieves), so I would love them to "improve" Argentinian or Colombian genes with their presence.
This is true and one of the reasons they resent us Argies is that we were largely successful in "eliminating" the native element and "whitening" the country through mass migration, USA-style. "Argentina es white" meme was started by Mexicans on /int/ who hate us irrationally for some reason. (Not all mexicans, but many do)
Anyway, it's not like it's something to be proud about, we got all the "white trash" of Europe. (Uneducated Italian and Spanish peasants, Volga Germans, Poles, Russians, Lebanese Christians, basically all those groups that were not allowed into America - Even the Anglos we got were the wayward kids. It was said that wealthy British families would send their best children to run their properties in the Dominions and the unruly ones to run their properties in Argentina)
Probably why the country was more disfunctional compared to the Anglo dominions was the lower quality of immigrants compared to the US or Australia - Poorer and less educated in average. And I say this as an Italian descendant.
>Argentina
The Falklands don't belong to you
user, venezuelans have little to no native admixture. They are all white-black people.
Yeah nope
I'm probably the biggest Angloboo on this board so if that was an attempt to trigger me, it failed.
I long for the times of the good old Anglo-Argentine alliance.
>the argentinian betraying his nation's rightful claims just to kiss eternal anglo's ass
Colour me surprised.
Nah, the military chimped out.
That war is a fucking stain in the nation, along with Peronism and the military meddling in politics between 1930 and 1983.
If we had contributed in WW2 to the Allied cause the Falklands would have been handed over peacefully just like Canada got Newfoundland.
Whatever helps you sleep at night, man. European powers don't belong anywhere close to America; not surprising at all that your country has no patriotic feeling left at all and is infested by socialists.
We have a Conservative government at present actually, gets along pretty well with Trump.
Argentina has very few actual socialists, Peronism has coopted their place in politics.
Where you from m8?
Do you own research and write your own paper you undergrad faggot.
Veeky Forums is not a source.
You know absolutely nothing about Spanish colonial leaders, do you?
They have up to 10% native admixture.
Then 60% white and 30 % black. Your picture confirms it.
No it only confirms your delusion
>European powers don't belong anywhere close to America
Spain belong to Hispanic America and not to Europe.
We are one country.
I guess nobody in this thread realizes they just did OP’s homework
>in what ways was it successful?
pretty successful in new spain, less successful in the andes
>What were the internal and external factors that determined this?
missionary attention and economic and social changes, which were more drastic in certain areas of the colonies (coastal peru) than others (highland peru) even though the persistence of native elites did not mean there lacked radical social and economic changes (see: the mita system)
We are fucking not.
I am a Spaniard. And I share nothing with you, criminal savages.
The only thing in common is, to some extent, language.
Our only possible relation with you is as colonists.
kek, spaniards fucking hate you, you delusional faggot.

Obvious samefag.
Why are you so butthurt Paco?
You are all spics to me.
SANTIAGO
What delusion. They are paler than the average mulatto. That means they have at least 60% of spanish DNA. The rest is of course black genes, as native populations were reduced drastically. So it is like 30% black DNA and less than 10% native DNA.
That's your opinion but the average Spaniard feels closer to LatAm than to Europe/many European countries.
And there are more full-blooded Spaniards in America than in Spain.
you might not like it but this is what spic performance looks like
Ah no no it is not it's only like 1 to 3 percent black
Not him but you are fucking delusional.
Venezuela is very black.
This sounds suspiciously like a homework question there kiddo.
What about the Maya and British alliance?
