Recap: Fate of the New World
• 1492 Spain (Voyage of Columbus)• 1521 Spain (Cortes conquers Mexico)• 1599 Spain (Colonizes northward)• 1600’s Rival settlements from France, Holland, England…etc.
• Spain’s hold on the New World uncontested for over 100 years
• Riches from New World made Spain a leading world and wealthy power but inflation wore away at Spanish economy and had all but dwindled by mid 1600’s. Also adventurers at sea often attacked Spanish galleons (under Royal orders from England) for the bullions- sea dogs: like Sir Francis Drake. The defeat of the Spanish Armada by Protestant England sealed Spain’s fate and cemented the virtually uncontested role Protestants would play in populating the shores of North America.
