These lawyer-bureaucrats staffed the various councils of state, eventually including the Council of the Indies and Casa de Contratación, the two highest bodies in metropolitan Spain for the government of the empire in the New World, as well as royal government in The Indies. In Portugal, the Duke of Alba and the Spanish occupation were little more popular in Lisbon than in Rotterdam. The French, under Napoleon, took back possession as part of the Treaty of San Ildefonso in 1800 and sold it to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. Catholic orthodoxy enforced by the Inquisition, particularly targeting crypto-Jews and Protestants. On 13 September 1557, Cardinal Carlo Carafa signed a peace agreement, accepting all of the duke's conditions. Gasca repealed the New Laws, the issue around which the rebellion had been organized. Under royal order from Charles III of Spain Gálvez continued the aid operations to supply the American rebels. European diseases and divide and conquer tactics contributed to the defeat of the native populations. [127], Pengiran Seri Lela died in August–September 1578, probably from the same illness that had afflicted his Spanish allies, although there was suspicion he could have been poisoned by the ruling Sultan. The majority of the territory of today's Brazil had been claimed as Spanish when exploration began with the navigation of the length of the Amazon River in 1541–42 by Francisco de Orellana. Later military expeditions that crossed the Colorado River at the Yuma Crossing include Juan Bautista de Anza's (1774). The use of the new techniques by indigenous groups later became a disputed factor in native resistance to the colonial and American governments. 1998 Jaime E. Rodríguez. [46] Thus, the limitations imposed by the Alcáçovas treaty were overcome and a new and more balanced division of the world would be reached in the Treaty of Tordesillas between both emerging maritime powers. Stories included the half-fabulous Christian Empire of "Prester John", the kingdom of the White Queen on the "Western Nile" (Sénégal River), the Fountain of Youth, cities of Gold in North and South America such as Quivira, Zuni-Cibola Complex, and El Dorado, and wonderful kingdoms of the Ten Lost Tribes and women called Amazons. The conflict between Christians and Muslims to control Iberia, which started from North African Muslim's successful launch of attack in 711, lasted from the years 718 to 1492. The Portuguese frequently relied on the help of Jesuits and European adventurers who lived together with the aborigines and knew their languages and culture, such as João Ramalho, who lived among the Guaianaz tribe near today's São Paulo, and Diogo Álvares Correia, who lived among the Tupinamba natives near today's Salvador de Bahia. [42] It was confirmed in 1481 by the Pope Sixtus IV, in the papal bull Æterni regis (dated on 21 June 1481). From keyshistory.org. [192] The British blockaded the colonial ports of the Thirteen Colonies, and the route from Spanish-controlled New Orleans up to the Mississippi river was an effective alternative to supply the American rebels. Financing was requested from the King, delegates of the Crown, the nobility, rich merchants or the troops themselves. He did not become Holy Roman Emperor, but divided Habsburg possessions with his uncle Ferdinand. [41], As a seafaring people in the south-westernmost region of Europe, the Portuguese became natural leaders of exploration during the Middle Ages. From the early days of the Caribbean and conquest era, the crown attempted to control trade between Spain and the Indies with restrictive policies enforced by the House of Trade (est. The first settlement was founded in 1532. Those from the less prosperous Hispaniola were eager to search for new success in a new settlement. In the 18th century, Spain was concerned with increasing Russian and British influence in the Pacific Northwest of North America and sent several expeditions to explore and further shore up Spanish claims to the region.[154]. For example, Ioánnis Fokás (known as Juan de Fuca) was a Castilian of Greek origin who discovered the strait that bears his name between Vancouver Island and Washington state in 1592. Members of the clergy held the fuero eclesiástico were judged by ecclesiastical courts, whether the offense was civil or criminal. In 1584, William the Silent was assassinated by a half-deranged Catholic, and the death of the popular Dutch resistance leader was hoped to bring an end to the war but did not. War was also waged against the Sultanate of Ternate and Tidore (in response to Ternatean slaving and piracy against Spain's allies: Bohol and Butuan). In traditional cultures of the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and hunter-gatherer societies the warfare was mostly 'endemic', long duration, low intensity, usually evolving into almost a ritualized form. [citation needed] Sevilla, and indeed the economy of Andalucía, would never recover from such complete devastation. They were never able to reach each other and Valiente died in 1553 in the Battle of Tucapel. Dávila made an agreement with Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro, which brought about the discovery of Peru, but withdrew in 1526 for a small compensation, having lost confidence in the outcome. The mastiffs, Spanish war dogs[113] and sheep dogs they used in battle were effective as a psychological weapon against the natives, who, in many cases, had never seen domesticated dogs. Abu Abdallah's uncle, Abd Al-Malik, had taken it from Abu Abdallah with Ottoman Empire support. Several expeditions went in search of these fabulous places, but returned empty-handed, or brought less gold than they had hoped. As a result of his expedition, the 1529 Diego Ribeiro world map outlined the East coast of North America almost perfectly. After first landing on Guanahani island in The Bahamas, Columbus found the island which he called Isla Juana, later named Cuba. The Spanish Empire (Spanish: Imperio Español; Latin: Imperium Hispanicum), historically known as the Hispanic Monarchy (Spanish: Monarquía Hispánica) and as the Catholic Monarchy (Spanish: Monarquía Católica[1]), was a colonial empire governed by Spain that existed from 1492-1976. [91] In 1680 they reached the far south and founded Sacramento on the bank of the Rio de la Plata, in the Eastern Strip region (present-day Uruguay).[92]. Other conquistadors took over the Inca Empire after crossing the Isthmus of Panama and sailing the Pacific to northern Peru. In 1530, an expedition led by Martim Afonso de Sousa arrived to patrol the entire coast, ban the French, and to create the first colonial villages, like São Vicente, at the coast. Silver mining absorbed most available capital in Mexico and Peru, and the crown emphasized the production of precious metals that was sent to Spain. However, typhus spread fast aboard the English vessels; large numbers of English sailors died of disease or hunger, and, of the few who did survive, some died even after landing at Margate. Aside from the explorations predominated by Spain and Portugal, other parts of Europe also aided in colonization of the New World. From 1630 to 1654, the Dutch set up more permanently in the Nordeste and controlled a long stretch of the coast most accessible to Europe, without, however, penetrating the interior. Converting the inhabitants of in the newly discovered lands was entrusted by the papacy to the rulers of Portugal and Spain, through a series of papal actions. Olivares aimed for "peace with honor", however, which meant in practice a peace settlement that would have restored to Spain something of its predominant position in the Netherlands. Under Philip II, royal power over The Indies increased, but the crown knew little about its overseas possessions in the Indies. The treaty ending the War of the Spanish Succession with a victory for the Bourbon French candidate for the throne had a provision for the British to legally sell by a license (Asiento de Negros) slaves to Spanish America. In 1536, Dominican friar Bartolomé de las Casas went to Oaxaca to participate in a series of discussions and debates among the Bishops of the Dominican and Franciscan orders. In 1934, during the government of Prime Minister Alejandro Lerroux, Spanish troops led by General Osvaldo Capaz landed in Sidi Ifni and carried out the occupation of the territory, ceded de jure by Morocco in 1860. On the other hand, concessions allowed the Crown to guide the Companies conquests to certain territories, depending on their interests. The crown's recognition of indigenous elites as nobles meant that these men were incorporated into colonial system with privileges separating them from Indian commoners. In 1533 Juan Valiente made a deal with his owner to allow him to be a conquistador for four years with the agreement that all earnings would come back to Alonso. Cortés then applied all of his funds, mortgaged his estates and borrowed from merchants and friends to outfit his ships. Taking advantage of a revolt against Columbus in Hispaniola, they appointed Francisco de Bobadilla as governor of the Indies with civil and criminal jurisdiction over the lands discovered by Columbus. Following a brief war in 1893, Spain expanded its influence south from Melilla. The tangible heritage includes universities, forts, cities, cathedrals, schools, hospitals, missions, government buildings and colonial residences, many of which still stand today. After unifying Castile, Ferdinand introduced to Castile many laws, regulations and institutions such as the Inquisition, that were typical in Aragon. Several historians have hypothesized that John II may have known of the existence of Brazil and North America as early as 1480, thus explaining his wish in 1494 at the signing of the Treaty of Tordesillas, to push the line of influence further west. Ferdinand returned to Madrid from Aranjuez on 24 March, but French troops now occupied the city. [citation needed]. [citation needed], One of the black conquistadors who fought against the Aztecs and survived the destruction of their empire was Juan Garrido. In 1624 most of the inhabitants of the town Pernambuco (Recife), in the future Dutch colony of Brazil were Sephardic Jews who had been banned by the Portuguese Inquisition to this town at the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. The Spanish, who derived a great deal of wealth from the Netherlands and particularly from the vital port of Antwerp, were committed to restoring order and maintaining their hold on the provinces. The Spanish Empire (Spanish: Imperio Español; Latin: Imperium Hispanicum), historically known as the Hispanic Monarchy (Spanish: Monarquía Hispánica) and as the Catholic Monarchy (Spanish: Monarquía Católica), was a colonial empire governed by Spain that existed from 1492-1976. The arrival of Pedro de Alvarado from the lands known today as Mexico in search of Inca gold further complicated the situation for De Almagro and Belalcázar. Up to that date, Charles continued to use the title of emperor. In these battles, which established the supremacy of the Spanish Tercios in European battlefields, the forces of the kings of Spain acquired a reputation for invincibility that would last until the mid-17th century. When these territories reach a high level of importance, the crown established the Council of the Indies in 1524, following the conquest of the Aztec empire, asserting permanent royal control over its possessions. Even in the sixteenth century, Spain recognized that the idealized closed system did not function in reality. Most notable was the rapidly growing textile industry of Catalonia which by the mid-1780s saw the first signs of industrialization. In 1582, when Philip II moved his court back to Madrid from the Atlantic port of Lisbon, where he had temporarily settled to pacify his new Portuguese kingdom, the pattern was sealed, in spite of what every observant commentator privately noted. The tendency to secrecy and falsification of dates casts doubts about the authenticity of many primary sources. [clarification needed]. When Philip IV succeeded his father in 1621, Spain was clearly in economic and political decline, a source of consternation. It did so by dividing peoples of the Americas into the República de Indios, the native populations, and the República de Españoles. The conquistador borrowed as little as possible, preferring to invest all their belongings. But while mine owners and the crown benefited from the flourishing silver economy, most of the population in the rural Bajío faced rising land prices, falling wages. Following the pattern established in Spain during the Reconquista and in the Caribbean, the first European settlements in the Americas, conquerors divided up the indigenous population in private holdings encomiendas and exploited their labor. The war was a disaster for France, which suffered defeat in the Battle of Bicocca (1522), the Battle of Pavia (1525), in which Francis I was captured and imprisoned in Madrid,[98] and in the Battle of Landriano (1529) before Francis relented and abandoned Milan to the Empire. Much of the silver of the Indies was diverted into those European merchant houses. [130] Thereafter, some of the conspirators were exiled to Guam or Guerrero, Mexico. With this began the practice of evangelization of the peoples of the new world as supported by the Spanish government. The Spanish trading port of Manila facilitated this trade in 1572. After he pacified Hispaniola, where the native Indians had revolted against the administration of governor Nicolás de Ovando, Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar led the conquest of Cuba in 1511 under orders from Viceroy Diego Columbus and was appointed governor of the island. The crisis could have led to war, but it was resolved in the Nootka Convention, in which Spain and Great Britain agreed to not establish settlements and allowed free access to Nootka Sound on the west coast of what is now Vancouver Island. [119] One Spaniard described the climate as "cuatro meses de polvo, cuatro meses de lodo, y cuatro meses de todo" (four months of dust, four months of mud, and four months of everything). [118] Spaniards were few and life was difficult and they were often outnumbered by their Latino recruits and Filipino allies. The Kingdom of England, suffering from a series of repulses at sea and from a guerrilla war by Catholics in Ireland, who were supported by Spain, agreed to the Treaty of London, 1604, following the accession of the more tractable Stuart King James I. Philip's chief minister, the duke of Lerma, also steered Spain toward peace with the Netherlands in 1609, although the conflict was to emerge again at a later point. [203] Spanish Americans wanted self-government. In the 1500s there were enslaved black, free black, and free black sailors on Spanish ships crossing the Atlantic and developing new routes of conquest and trade in the Americas. Due to the lack of prior exposure to the Catholic faith, Queen Isabella had declared all indigenous peoples her subjects. Spanish conquistadors in the Americas made extensive use of short swords and crossbows, with arquebus becoming widespread only from the 1570s. The Portuguese assimilated some of the native tribes[82] while others were enslaved or exterminated in long wars or by European diseases to which they had no immunity. [74] To that end, in 1499 and 1500, the Portuguese mariner João Fernandes Lavrador visited the northeast Atlantic coast and Greenland and the north Atlantic coast of Canada, which accounts for the appearance of "Labrador" on topographical maps of the period. In 1583, Bazán returned with an invasion force and conquered Terceira. In 1568, the Spanish defeated Hawkins' fleet at the Battle of San Juan de Ulúa in present-day Mexico. Following the same strategy, the Catholic Monarchs decided to support the Aragonese house of Naples against Charles VIII of France in the Italian Wars beginning in 1494. Only the Spanish nobles were spared, kept prisoner for ransom. Mastiff dogs were used as war weapons. However, through a paternalistic system, particularly on Bioko Island, Spain developed large cocoa plantations for which thousands of Nigerian workers were imported as laborers. [214], Hundreds of towns and cities in the Americas were founded during the Spanish rule, with the colonial centers and buildings of many of them now designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites attracting tourists. This resulted in the War of the Spanish Succession, with the Habsburg Monarchy, the Dutch and the English challenging Charles II's choice of a Bourbon prince to succeed him as king. Martín de Aguilar, lost from the expedition led by Sebastián Vizcaíno, explored the Pacific coast as far north as Coos Bay in present-day Oregon.[40]. Dávila's daughters married Rodrigo de Contreras and conquistador of Florida and Mississippi, the Governor of Cuba Hernando de Soto. In 1599, Malay Muslim merchants defeated and massacred almost the entire contingent of Spanish troops in Cambodia, putting an end to Spanish plans to conquer it. Therefore, Spain started to invest in America with the creation of cities, because Spain was in America due to religious reasons. [clarification needed] In 1630 the West India Company conquered part of Brazil, and the colony of New Holland (capital Mauritsstad, present-day Recife) was founded. The Spanish forces, in addition to significant armament and equestrian advantages, exploited the rivalries between competing indigenous peoples, tribes, and nations, some of which were willing to form alliances with the Spanish in order to defeat their more-powerful enemies, such as the Aztecs or Incas—a tactic that would be extensively used by later European colonial powers. [131] During the Spanish–Moro conflict, the Moros of Muslim Mindanao conducted piracy and slave-raids against Christian settlements in the Philippines. The conquests of the Aztec Empire and the Inca Empire brought vast indigenous civilizations into the Spanish Empire and the mineral wealth, particularly silver, were identified and exploited, becoming the economic lifeblood of the crown. [151], After the conquest of Mexico, rumors of golden cities (Quivira and Cíbola in North America and El Dorado in South America) motivated several other expeditions. There was hope in Madrid that the Netherlands might finally be reincorporated into the Empire, and after the defeat of Denmark the Protestants in Germany seemed crushed. He was the first Habsburg monarch of Spain and co-ruler of Spain with his mother, Queen Juana. The English-Spanish wars of 1585–1604 were clashes not only in English and Spanish ports or on the sea between them but also in and around the present-day territories of Florida, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and Panama. The Patronato real, or power of royal patronage for ecclesiastical positions had precedents in Iberia during the reconquest. Maynila's former ruler, the Muslim rajah, Rajah Sulayman, who was a vassal to the Sultan of Brunei, refused to submit to Legazpi but failed to get the support of Lakan Dula or of the Pampangan and Pangasinan settlements to the north. Melchior Díaz reached the delta in the same year, intending to establish contact with Alarcón, but the latter was already gone by the time of Díaz's arrival. By 1862, Spain was contending with a limited insurgency and losing hundreds of soldiers to guerrillas and the devastation of yellow fever. By 1540 he was a captain, horseman, and partner in Pedro de Valdivia's company in Chile. The crown established the system of treasure fleets (Spanish: flota) to protect the conveyance of silver to Seville (later Cadiz). Charles IV signed the Treaty of Fountainebleau with Napoleon, ratifying that action and promising that Portugal would be divided between the two. Eighteenth-century paintings depicted elites' ideas of the sistema de castas in hierarchical order,[161] but there was some fluidity in the system rather than absolute rigidity. The capital was in an unhealthy location[15] and consequently moved around 1534 to the place they called "Villa de Santiago de la Vega", later named Spanish Town, in present-day Saint Catherine Parish.[16]. The Inca Indians in Peru were the first to cultivate potatoes around 8,000 BC to 5,000 B.C. However, those profits did not promote Spanish economic development of a manufacturing sector, with its economy continuing to be based on agriculture. Spain was France's ally, but it had tried to avoid being drawn directly into the ongoing conflict between Napoleon's France and Britain. In 1520–1521, João Álvares Fagundes was granted donatary rights to the inner islands of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. When John died in 1656, the Spanish attempted to wrest Portugal from his son Alfonso VI of Portugal but were defeated at the Battle of Ameixial (1663) and the Battle of Montes Claros (1665), leading to Spain's recognition of Portugal's independence in 1668, during the regency of Philip IV's young heir, Charles II, who was seven at the time. The Spanish coastal fortifications in Veracruz, Callao and Chiloé were the footholds that resisted until 1825 and 1826 respectively. This differed from people of the African continent because these populations had theoretically been exposed to Catholicism and chose not to follow it. These tables revolutionized navigation, enabling latitude calculations. Portugal required an extensive occupation force to keep it under control,[citation needed] and Spain was still reeling from the 1576 bankruptcy. In 1434 the first consignment of slaves was brought to Lisbon; slave trading was the most profitable branch of Portuguese commerce until the Indian subcontinent was reached. They were second cousins born in Extremadura, where many of the Spanish conquerors were born. Resistance coalesced around juntas, emergency ad hoc governments. The Spanish Empire's utilization of local elites to rule large populations that are ethnically distinct from the rulers has long been practiced by earlier empires. They attempted to mobilize subordinated populations through the encomienda. The war ended with most of the Spanish Netherlands under French occupation, including the important cities of Ghent and Luxembourg. The legend was initially infused with the idea that California was a terrestrial paradise, peopled by black women Amazons. 1500–1850), Spanish expeditions to the Pacific Northwest, classified by race and hierarchically ranked, Historiography of Colonial Spanish America, List of countries that gained independence from Spain, Inventário do Património Imóvel dos Açores Breve esboço sobre a História da Praia, https://www.history.org/foundation/journal/spring13/spanish.cfm, "The Spanish Habsburgs | Western Civilization", Encyclopedia of Latin American History and Culture 1996, "Reflections on Gold: On the Late Medieval Background of the Spanish "Enterprise of the Indies, "2 January 1492 - King Boabdil surrenders Granada to Ferdinand and Isabella", "La Santa Sede ante las empresas marítimas ibéricas", "Las bulas de 1493 en el Derecho Indiano", "De las bulas alejandrinas al nuevo orden político americano", "El proceso de incorporacion de las indias a castilla", "La Casa de la Contratación de Sevilla y el abasto de las flotas de Indias", The Tempest and Its Travels – Peter Hulme – Google Libros, "Letter from Francisco de Sande to Felipe II, 1578", "Isang Maikling Kasaysayan ng Pandacan, Maynila 1589–1898", "Chapter 15: A History of Spain and Portugal", "The Columbian Mosaic in Colonial America", "The Incas Under Spanish Colonial Institutions", "History Lessons: Institutions, Factor Endowments, and Paths of Development in the New World", "Corsairs of Santo Domingo a socio-economic study, 1718-1779", "The Spanish Ulcer: Napoleon, Britain, and the Siege of Cádiz" in, "THE SANTO DOMINGO REBELLION. [34] The conquest of the Canary Islands, inhabited by Guanche people, began in 1402 during the reign of Henry III of Castile, by Norman nobleman Jean de Béthencourt under a feudal agreement with the crown. As the Caribbean became a draw for Spanish settlement and as Columbus and his extended Genoese family failed to be recognized as officials worthy of the titles they held, there was unrest among Spanish settlers. The presence of Spain in North Africa declined during Charles's reign, though Tunis and its port, La Goleta, were taken in 1535. The quasi-monopoly on foreign trade in the region would be maintained by the Portuguese until the early seventeenth century, when the Spanish and Dutch arrived. The overseas lands claimed by Spain in the New World proved to be a source of wealth and the crown was able to assert greater control over its overseas possessions in the political and religious spheres than was possible on Iberian peninsula or in Europe. In Spanish America, Royalist guerrillas continued the war in several countries, and Spain launched attempts to retake Venezuela in 1827 and Mexico in 1829. [105] In the western Mediterranean, Philip pursued a defensive policy with the construction of a series of armed garrisons and peace agreements with some of the Muslim rulers of North Africa.[106]. French forces led by the Duke of Luxembourg defeated the Spanish at Fleurus (1690) and subsequently defeated Dutch forces under William III of Orange, who fought on Spain's side. Admiral Luis de Córdova y Córdova captured two British convoys totaling seventy-nine ships, including a fleet of fifty-five merchantmen and frigates in the Action of 9 August 1780. To enforce a trade monopoly, Muscat, and Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, were seized by Afonso de Albuquerque in 1507, and in 1507 and 1515, respectively. Supported by large flows of silver from America, trade prohibited by Spanish mercantilist trade restrictions flourished, because it provided a source of income to both crown officials and private merchants. Besides conquests, Spanish conquistadors made significant explorations into the Amazon Jungle, Patagonia, the interior of North America, and the discovery and exploration of the Pacific Ocean. So then you MUST change every Spanish name of cities and streets in California for they were named by the Spanish priests!! Francisco Pizarro had children with more than 40 women. Diego Velázquez, ordered expeditions, one led by his nephew, Juan de Grijalva, to Yucatán and the Hernán Cortés expedition of 1519. In Peru, after decades of political unrest, with ineffective viceroys and encomenderos wielding undue power, weak royal institutions, a renegade Inca state existing in Vilcabamba, and waning revenue from the silver mine of Potosí, Toledo's appointment was a major step forward for royal control.
