This detailed study is the only reference work of its kind to
address Spain's conquest of Central and South America, providing
in-depth coverage of native and European ideologies, political
motivations, and cultural practices of the region. As the study of
world history evolves from a Eurocentric perspective to a more
global viewpoint, formerly marginalized groups are now the focus of
discussion, revealing a background rich with important military,
political, social, and economic achievements. This book examines
the once prosperous and powerful native civilizations in Central
and South America, discussing the key individuals, strategies, and
politics that made these countries strong and indomitable. In spite
of this, the author shows how, in only a few generations, Spain
defeated these mini-empires, eventually dominating much of the
Western Hemisphere. Conflict in the Early Americas: An Encyclopedia
of the Spanish Empire's Aztec, Incan, and Mayan Conquests focuses
primarily on the defeat of the Aztec, Incan, and Mayan
civilizations, but also includes Spanish interactions with
lesser-known native groups. Supporting documents including primary
sources, maps, and visual aids provide necessary context to this
once-untold story.
