The encomienda system was established by Spanish colonizers in the Americas during the 16th century to facilitate the extraction of labor and resources from Indigenous populations. It granted Spanish settlers the right to demand labor and tribute from local communities in exchange for protection and the promise of Christianization. This system aimed to support the colonial economy while managing the vast territories and Indigenous peoples following the Spanish conquest. Ultimately, it led to significant exploitation and decline of Indigenous populations due to harsh working conditions and diseases.
