The brutal truth

CONQUEST 1550 and 1551

¡GREAT DEBATE!
Abril Menaldi
The debate was between Sepulveda and
Bartolome.
How were indigenous people treated?
Bartolome said that showing the natives’
rationality explained the complexity of
the society. He also defended the right of
religions and suffered no violence.
Sepulveda thougt that the slavery of the
natives was to treat then as inferior
beings o inhuman with monstrous
beliefs.

REASONS FOR SPANISH VICTORIES

Lourdes Salgado
 It was speculated that there were several reasons why the Spanish won the conquest.
The Spanish had firearms, swords, crossbows and horses. The natives only had a bow, arrow
and spears. Another reason was that the Spanish allied themselves with the enemy tribes of the
Aztecs, Incas and Mayans. Also the natives could have diseases, that made them weak to fight.

Malinche was blamed

She was an original Nahua woman.
It played an important role in the conquest
ofTenochtitlan.
She was also a slave and wife of Cortes
Malinche was seen as a negative
figure, a woman who offered her services
to the Spanish and betrayed her people.
