Section Notes

How did a small peninsula country in Europe come to dominate two continents in the Western Hemisphere? We’ll watch a short documentary and explore a dramatic case study of Spanish conquest in the New World. Then, dive into an engaging discussion on how those conquests shaped the later settlement of the New Mexico colony. You’ll uncover the strategies, motivations, and lasting impacts of Spanish expansion, and gain a deeper understanding of how conquest reshaped cultures, borders and history.
