Answer 2

Answer: Establishment of the first Spanish colonies in America.

Step-by-step explanation:

The arrival of the Europeans and America's discovery began the systematic colonization of America that would last for centuries. The Spaniards were among the first European colonists on American soil. Among the early great civilizations colonized by Spain were the Aztecs and Incas. The Spaniards used militant methods to overthrow these two civilizations, and there were no particular oscillations in establishing Spanish domination. The Spaniards were technologically superior to the natives. That was also reflected in the military sense so that a small number of Spanish troops defeated large armies thanks to technological superiority. The Spaniards were also helped by infectious diseases that they transmitted to the natives. The natives did not have built-in immunity to these diseases, so smallpox decimated the natives.
