The encomienda system was established by Spanish colonizers in the Americas to regulate and control indigenous populations. Its main purpose was to grant Spanish settlers the right to extract labor and tribute from local communities in exchange for providing protection and religious instruction. This system aimed to facilitate the economic exploitation of resources while simultaneously promoting the spread of Christianity among indigenous peoples. However, it often led to severe abuses and a significant decline in the native population due to harsh working conditions and diseases.
