ARTICLES RELATED TO Spanish colonization of the Americas | | | |  Spanish colonization of the Americas: Encyclopedia II - Spanish colonization of the Americas - IndependenceDuring the Peninsula War, several assemblies were established by the creole to rule the lands in the name of Ferdinand VII of Spain.

Areas in the Americas under Spanish control included most of South and Central America, Mexico, parts of the Caribbean and much of the United States.
The initial years saw a struggle between the Conquistadores and the royal authority. The Conquistadores were often poor nobles that wanted to acquire the land and labourers (Encomiendas and Repartimientos) that they couldn't achieve in Europe. Rebellions were frequent (See Lope de Aguirre). The Spanish Crown resorted to several systems of government, including Adelantados, C ...

| | | | Spanish colonization of the Americas: Encyclopedia II - Spanish colonization of the Americas - Northern extent of Spanish influence In 1720, a small Spanish expedition from Santa Fe met and attempted to parley with French- allied Pawnee in what is now Nebraska. Negotiations were unsuccessful, and a battle ensued; the Spanish were badly defeated, with only 13 managing to return to New Mexico. Although this was a small engagement, it is significant in that it was the deepest penetration of the Spanish into the Great Plains, establishing the limit to Spanish expansion and influence there.
In an effort to exclude Britain and Russia from the eastern Pacific, the Spanis ...

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.

| | | | Spanish colonization of the Americas: Encyclopedia - Colonial America Starting in the late 16th century, the English, the French, the Spanish, and the Dutch began to colonize eastern North America. The first attempts, notably the Colony of Jamestown, ended in failure, but successful colonies were soon established. The colonists, who came to the New World, were by no means a homogeneous band, but rather a variety of different social and religious groups which settled in different locations on the seaboard. The Dutch of New Netherland, the Quakers of Pennsylvania, the Puritans of New England, the gold-hungry set ...

| | | | Spanish colonization of the Americas: Encyclopedia II - Spanish Florida - Early colonization Several tribes of Native Americans were living in Florida when Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León arrived in 1513, reportedly searching for the Fountain of Youth. He sighted Florida for the first time, mistaking it for an island, on March 27, 1513, and subsequently landed on the east coast of the newly discovered land on April 2, 1513. He named the land La Pascua Florida, or "the flowery easter" due to the abundant plant life in the area and to the fact that he ar ...

| | | | Spanish colonization of the Americas: Encyclopedia II - History of Venezuela - Spanish period At the time of the Spanish arrival, the indigenous people were mainly agriculturists and hunters living in groups along the coast, the Andean mountain range, and along the Orinoco River. Nueva Toledo, the first permanent Spanish settlement in South America, was established in Venezuela in 1522.
An abortive plan for German settlement from German Habsburg lands, to be financed through the Fugger bankers, never came to fruition. By the middle of the 1500s there were still little more than 2,000 Europeans in what is now Venezuela. The ope ...

Almost the entire Spanish population departed the area, along with almost all of the remaining indigenous population.

| | | | Spanish colonization of the Americas: Encyclopedia II - Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire - Rebellion and reconquest The situation went quickly downhill. As things began to fall apart, many parts of the Inca Empire revolted, some of them joining with the Spanish against their own rulers.
After Atahualpa's execution, Pizarro installed Atahualpa's brother, Tupac Huallpa, as a puppet Inca ruler, but he soon died unexpectedly, leaving Manco Inca Yupanqui in power. He began his rule as an ally of the Spanish and was respected in the southern regions of the empire, but there was still much unrest in the north near Quito where Atahualpa’s generals were a ...
