What did Spain's explorers achieve?

Answer 1

Spanish explorers, and indeed all European explorers brought the knowledge of the rest of the world to isolated and sometimes truly ignorant natives. That is not to say that the natives were stupid. They had organized societies, agricultural skills, and even an advanced understanding of Astronomy. However, according to the Europeans they were not CHRISTIANS. OHMYGOD, HOW REVOLTING! In many cases they lacked a written language, an understanding of a numbering system or the ability to work metals. They were not aware of the rest of the world. Some natives in the Western Hemisphere still don't have all these things.

If you ask a European today they would most likely tell you that providing all these things to the native peoples that the Explorers encountered were great achievements.

I suppose the answer depends on your point of view. I'm not at all certain that all those folks thought that they had been helped. Are You?

Certainly you must advance or perish. At what cost?

Spain Explorers achieved many things such as:

- Money/Wealth

- Fame.

Also when they found things in the other countries, they got to keep some of the stuff, and they also brought them home these things include:

-Gold

-Grains

-Spices (pepper, nutmags, mace, cinnamon)

- Horses

-Sheep

-Pigs

-Wheat

-Sugar Cane

-Steel

-Patatoes

-Pineapples

-Avocados
