 | | This was followed by a phase of conquest: the Spaniards (just having finished a war against the Muslims in the Iberian peninsula) began toppling the local American civilizations, and attempted to impose a new religion (Christianity). | | | This experience of self-government and the influence of Liberalism and the ideas of the French and American Revolutions brought the struggle for independence, led by the Libertadores. | | | In 1720, the Villasur expedition from Santa Fe met and attempted to parley with French- allied Pawnee in what is now Nebraska. |

| | Granted, Spanish rule was not a utopia and particular vigilante settlers did commit intolerable crimes in the New World. | | | William of Orange, a Dutch Protestant seeking to instigate a schism with the Hapsburg empire and carve himself a piece of it under religious motives alluded to Spanish “barbarism and cruelties” as far back as 1580, politicizing history to ignite a revolution which would not have possessed the fuel to linger prior to his rantings. | | | And their motives were not any humanitarian yearning nor a principle of Just War (the Augustinian doctrine to which the Spanish had adhered in the New World). |

| | Utilizing methods such as the Inquisition the Spanish viceregal government suppressed the diffusion of liberal ideas during the Enlightenment, the French Revolution and the United States War of Independence at a time when it tolerated no other religion than the Catholic faith. | | | The Spanish presence on the American continent tends to be criticized very passionately, especially because of the disappearance of its preexisting cultures, which were totally extinguished. | | | Although the Spanish initiated a series of expeditions on the Atlantic coast starting in 1492, it is April 22, 1519, the day Hernan Cortes landed ashore and founded the city of Veracruz, that marks the beginning of almost 303 years of Spanish hegemony over the region. |
