The encomienda system was implemented in the Spanish colonies of the Americas during the early 16th century, following the Spanish conquest of indigenous territories. It primarily took hold in regions such as the Caribbean, Mexico, and parts of South America. This system granted Spanish settlers the right to extract labor and tribute from indigenous peoples in exchange for protection and Christianization, leading to significant exploitation and decline of native populations.
