Spain was the primary European country that conquered and enslaved American Indians in both North and South America. Beginning in the late 15th century, Spanish explorers and conquistadors, such as Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro, led expeditions that resulted in the subjugation of Indigenous populations. The Spanish established colonies and implemented systems like encomienda, which forced Indigenous people into labor under harsh conditions. Other European powers, such as France and England, also engaged in colonization, but Spain was notably influential in the early conquest and enslavement of Native Americans.
