Description

Conquistadores ("conquerors") is the term widely used to refer to the Spanish soldiers, explorers, and adventurers who brought much of the Americas under the control of Spain in the 15th through the 19th centuries following Europe's discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus in 1492. The leaders of the conquest of the Aztec Empire were Hernán Cortés and Pedro de Alvarado. Francisco Pizarro led the conquest of the Incan Empire. The conquistadors in the Americas were more volunteer militia than an actual organized army. They had to supply their own materials, weapons and horses. Some were supported by a government such as Hernan Cortes by Spain. More than anything, their unsurmountable greed was without precedent. The story of the Conquistador is that of an impoverished noble, the younger male who received no wealth, acting out their hatred in a foreign land and destroying the lives of much wealthier and powerful people and whole civilizations. Many died in either great pain, disgrace, or in a worse state of poverty than which they began. The Spanish crown and the Viceroyals benefited the most from their work product. This image shows one of the few female conquistadores who were in search of wealth and honor, and I guess she found it.......... Thanks for dropping in and I hope you enjoy this little scene.
