Language development was enabled in local dialect because of religious services were held in local languages and the translation of works and printing of books. This movement against the Reformation pushed Roman Catholicism and attempted to regain the powers lost by the Church. In following years governments and countries were shaped by religion. At the time there
GKE1 Task 3 GKE1 Task 3 (A) The colonization of North America began in the late 1600’s. England, France and Spain began sending citizens to the “New World” in hopes of establishing new territories. The purpose of these new territories was to gain land for each countries expansion and to increase trade with new found resources. They also intended to increase political and private wealth. There were others who wished to flee religious persecution.
Additionally, colonial America spread throughout Atlantic World and in time converted many of these indigenous groups and slaves. Yet, in many cases the conversion of the indigenous people backfired on them. Many took up arms against the colonies, fighting in what they believe was true and dear to them. Despite the failures within these groups, the Atlantic World developed through the interaction among them, through the roles of religion, race, and
The Spanish Conquistadors DBQ The European discovery of the Americas in 1492 triggered many consequences for the Native tribes of the region. These consequences resulted first due to Spanish invasion in the South and Central American regions. These Spanish conquistadors had many motives for conquest of the Native American tribes. And these motives were an important influence on Spanish attitudes toward the Natives of the New World. Throughout this essay, I’ll analyze historic documents pointing out how the conquistadors’ motives contributed to their feelings toward Native Americans.
Spanish missionaries and conquistadors sought to convert the people of the New World and establish dominance overseas. To do this, they needed the labor of African slaves, leading to another mass migration. This migration helped explode the population of the New World since so many people came to the Americas with the promise of cheap land and easy living. Migration was a heavy factor in the changes to the Native American population for this migration. The people of the Old World brought their diseases with them, which took advantage of the Native Americans inexistent antibodies toward illnesses like smallpox- which brought about massive and catastrophic population decreases for the Native Americans, about 80-90%.
The people conquered by charlemegne , after being converted to christianty, were taught through the bible of codes that taught right and wrong. It was nesscary for the church to play a role in this education of the people, because only the clergy were educated. The church also guided charlemagene’s hand as a ruler, for he took on many conquests and missions so this way the Christian relgion could spread throught Europe. Indeed, his desire and passionate to spread his kingdom and government was interwined with his desire to spread the Christian relgion and have the people live according to the word of god. At that beginning of the caroligian dynasty the church was suffering from problems.
The messages of Christianity spread by the missionaries in the mid fifteenth to eighteenth centuries were differently shaped and received by peoples in the Americas and Asia. Depending on the various native cultural, political, and sociological values, the Christian message took on a different impact to each respective group of people. One on end, in the Americas, the political culture was that of invasive force. Led mainly by the Spanish Catholics, the conquistadors sought to conquer the native lands and peoples in the Americas, like the Incas and Aztecs. The after effects of the invasion including widespread disease and overtaking of native land created a setting in which the religion of the victors could take hold (728).
At the Council of Trent the Catholic authorities attempted to clean up the act of the Protestants by trying to persuade them to believe in all seven sacraments and reaffirmed this belief as well. Many other beliefs were reaffirmed as well; beliefs such as Monasteries, Miracles, Saints, Holy Relics, etc. Protestant beliefs constantly differed with a good amount of the beliefs from the Catholics, which caused it to branch off as a completely different religion itself, however the purpose of this council was to set the Protestants straight by reading to them doctrines from the Catholic Church, and other biblical beliefs. Although it might not have worked completely, it did subside some tensions between both
The Spanish began to crush the Southwest Indians military, enslave and Christianize them. The Spanish in an act of intolerance began to establish churches and missions in New Mexico to convert local Indians. Slavery continued until Popes rebellion in 1680 leading to more violence and bloodshed. The Spanish used religion and justification for enslavement and exploitation as well as for the destruction of the Indians cultures. This made religious centers of the Spanish a main target for the
Colonial expansion under the crown of Castile was initiated by the Spanish conquistadores and developed by the Monarchy of Spain through its administrators and missionaries. The motivations for colonial expansion were trade and the spread of the Catholic faith through indigenous conversions. Beginning with the 1492 arrival of Christopher Columbus and continuing for over four centuries, the Spanish Empire would expand across most of present day Central America, the Caribbean Islands, Mexico, and much of the rest of North America including the Southwestern, Southern coastal, and California's Pacific Coast regions of the United States. In the early 19th century the revolutionary movements resulted in the independence of most Spanish colonies in America, except for Cuba and Puerto Rico, given up in 1898 following the Spanish-American War, together with Guam and the Philippines in the Pacific. Spain's loss of these last territories politically ended Spanish colonization in America.
