Bartolom De Las Casas' Eyeopening Account Of Spanish Colonialism In The Early To Mid16Th Century Has For Centuries Been A Pivotal Source On The Topic.Following The Discovery Of The Americas By Christopher Columbus In 1497, A Great Interest In The New And Virgin Lands Was Sparked In Europe. Spain, Eager To Capitalise On The Great Resources And Wealth Present, Sent Successive Fleets Of Vessels To The Caribbean To Set Up Colonial Outposts As Footholds In The New Continent.Despite Being Small In Number, The Spanish Colonists Had Superior Arms And Were Able To Forcibly Subdue The Native Populations. Murder, Rape And Other Atrocities Were Commonplace In The Process, With Many Natives Afterwards Becoming Enslaved. While Wealth Was Amassed, The Moral Depravity Involved Would Appal The Socially Conscious At Home.Bartolom De Las Casas, A Friar Who Intensely Opposed Such Inhumane Behavior, Was Moved To Author His Account Of The Colonial Era, Which He Defined By A Succession Of Harms Inflicted On Native Peoples. For His Part, Las Casas Would Assume Place As A Dogged Defender Of West Indian Peoples, Putting Pressure On The Spanish Court To Enact Laws Protecting Native Welfare.This Edition Derives From An Anonymous Translation To English, Which Was First Published In 1689.
