SHORT WRITTEN ANALYSIS

1760 in a PDF File entitled “Justifying Conquest.” This features excerpts from a
critique written by a Dominican friar who attacked the Spanish for their abuse of
native peoples. You will read additionally an official response on behalf of the King of
Spain entitled the Requerimiento in which the Spanish crown (the government) offers
a justification for Spain’s conquest.
Write in Microsoft Word a short paper of between one to two pages in which you
explain what you think about the critique that the friar made? To what extent are
you surprised that anyone came out and criticised Spanish abuses of native peoples?
HIST 1301 page 6
What do you think about Friar’s willingness to take responsibility for attacking
Spanish abuses amidst a crowd of Conquistadores themselves?
What do you think about the Spanish government’s response offered up on
behalf of King Ferdinand? What do you think about how the King’s justification for
conquest was framed? To what extent did Montecino and the Requerimiento offer two
different approaches to Christianity?
How might a native person like Montezuma have responded to the
Requerimiento?
How might the Anton Montecino have responded to the Requerimiento?
