1. The primary purpose of the Encomienda system was to indoctrinate the Indians in the Catholic faith. The Indians were expected to pay a tribute to the Spanish Conquistadors in return for protection and religious instruction.

2. When the conquistadors meets the leader of each Empire, they all took advantage of their absolute-monarch form of government and took the leaders hostage. Without their leader, the Native Americans can't seem to fight back as effectively and thus became easy prey for the conquistadors.

4. that is the way they were brought up
