AMERICA — AFTER COLUMBUS
It was not
an easy task to rule over millions of people, therefore massacre and blood
shedding was necessary for taking possession and ruling hold, for which wars
were fought without any reason.
The in-habitation started from the islands of West Indies whose local people were
either made slaves or they were put to an end by wars. In the same way, Peru,
Mexico, Eastern, Northern, Southern even the whole America was captured. Here
it is necessary to bring this thing into notice that they focused specially on
Peru because a regular empire was established there with plenty of wealth.
For
exploring America, not only one country took the lead but countries like Spain,
France, Portugal and England also sent their own troops of nobles and army
chiefs. Whenever such troops came, they brought with them wild dogs, canons,
and many arm troops whose work was desecration of women, running the cannibal
dogs after people to kill them, the remaining people were kidnapped, made
servant and afterwards sold in Europe. At that time, if any tribe became
rebellious, was severely suppressed. New mixed breed was brought into being by
many local women. Education was limited to higher classes. The preaching of
popes was along with soldiers. The settlement monitoring was done very strictly.
Jews and Muslims were not allowed to live there. All the Muslims were put to
death by bloodshed. Wealth and authority was in the hands of officers, settlers
or with those who were born amongst them and were included in nobles.
Administration
In Europe,
as Columbus gave false tidings of gold and silver in America, therefore it was
inevitable to start mining. So the local people, who remained alive were forced
to do this task under the strict supervision of the government.
It is a
fact that American regions beside clothing and textile iron things were
manufactured, pottery and cattle rearing was also carried on in the homes. Government’s
big source of income was underground minerals like gold, silver and other
jewels. Beside all these things the inhabitants had to face the fights by local
people and suffered a lot. Ultimately the local people had to step back and in
this way slowly and gradually their existence disappeared at all.
