Session 7
Conquistadors and their effect on us
CLASS OBJECTIVE

To debate whether Pre-

Columbian America
being conquered was a
positive or a negative
thing.
What happened as a result of Conquistadors’ influence
on America?
The Conquistadors’ effect on America.
Well, as you will see in the information included in
this video “The Columbian Exchange: Crash Course
World History #23” the Conquistadors had many
effects on American people and on the rest of the
world. They came to America with one thing on their
minds, riches and power. They conquered new land in
the name of God. They did not have the best
intentions for natives. That's why  you must decide if
the so-called Columbian exchange, had  beneficial or
negative effects on the world.
Task 1
- Watch the video,
The Columbian Exchange: Crash Course

effects of their conquest and read it in a
brief video presentation and upload it for
your professor.

conquest of America on this continent.
1. Make a chart presenting the effects of the
conquest of America.

were positive or negative using comparisons to
justify your choices.
