Question

What impact did imperial spain have on the americas?

Answer 1

The Treaty of Paris, ending the Spanish-American War, was signed on December 10. Spain gave up Guam, Puerto Rico, its possessions in the West Indies, and the Philippines in exchange for a U.S. payment of $20 million. The United States occupied Cuba but, as provided for in the Teller Amendment, did not try to annex it.

Answer 2

Spanish religion, language, and culture replaced local native cultures.

The Spanish recognized the native peoples that inhabited since happiness the American mainland as atheists, they applied to a method of transforming them to Catholicism. This was core to the method of control, and later expansion.

The culture increasingly understood the residents and immediately assimilated them into Spanish history as they supported the so-called method of the civilization of what they thought the non civilized. The local and indigenous practices experienced oppression and several of the ancient traditions and practices gradually were misplaced.
