Spanish colonization of the Americas - Early settlement
Word of Colombus's discovery caused trouble between Spain and Portugal, each of whom had been given Papal permission to colonize the region. The Treaty of Tordesillas, signed in 1494, was an attempt to resolve this conflict. It split the mostly unknown New World into two spheres of influence; however, once it was fully charted, almost all of the land fell in the Spanish sphere.
Early settlements by the Spanish were on the islands of the Caribbean. On his fourth and final voyage in 1502, Columbus encountered a large canoe off the coast of what is now Honduras filled with trade goods. He boarded the canoe and rifled through the cargo which included cacao beans, copper and flint axes, copper bells, pottery, and colorful cotton garments. He took one prisoner and what he wanted from the cargo and let the canoe continue. This was the first contact of the Spanish with the civilizations of Central America.
It was 1517 before another expedition from Cuba visited Central America landing on the coast of the Yucatán in search of slaves. This was followed by a phase of conquest: The Spaniards (just having finished a war against the Muslims in the Iberian peninsula) began toppling the local American civilizations, and attempted to impose a new religion (Christianity).
