As many as 4,000 servants, court officials, favorites, and concubines were killed upon the death of the Inca Huayna Capac in 1527 • The Incas also performed child sacrifices during or after important events, such as the death of the Sapa Inca or during a famine • These sacrifices were known as capacocha

  14. Spanish Conquest led to downfalls of native civilizations such as the Aztecs, Incans and other Andean civilizations • Spanish had mixed interactions with indigenous peoples creating many different social classes

  15. Peninsulares were at the top and were born in Spain • Creoles were still Spanish but born in colonies • Mestizos were half-Spanish half-indigenous peoples • Mulattoes were indigenous peoples

  16. Spanish forced heavy conversions to Christianity • Native Americans rejected at first • Eventually blended religions together • Massive trade and demand for silver for coins and trade • Slaves from Africa to work in plantations and other things • Massive taking of resources

  17. Industrialization and De-colonization through WWI & WWII 1801 CE – 1945 CE

  18. 1801 CE – After slavery was abolished in the United States in 1865 slavery still continued in Puerto Rico, Cuba and Brazil • 1914 CE - The Panama Canal opened up which connected the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean through Central America. This allowed for easier trade from Europe to the West coast of the Americas as they no longer had to travel around South America

  19. 1821 CE - Mexico wins independence from Spain • Mexico during the early 19th century needed more people to fill its densely populated lands including present day Arizona, Colorado, California, New Mexico, Texas and small parts of many other States United States currently owns today. The Americans eager to expand gladly migrated into what was at that time Mexico. However former Americans were unhappy with Mexico’s laws and eventually started a war and won all of the Southern United States areas

  20. During the 19th century many of the colonies once owned by a European power won their independence. With this independence the raping of resources came to a halt and the money then went to its population as colonies no longer were restricted to trade with colonial power. However the foreign nations still benefited as the new countries imported more than they exported which didn’t put a demand on build industrial nations. Latin America had little need to industrialize as the Europeans already had the factories. Since they didn’t industrialize these countries could not play a major role in the world’s economy • Americans help Cubans win their independence since we had a large interest in Cuba as they produced 50% of the world’s coffee • This was known as the Spanish-American war

  21. 1810-1900 CE - South American Revolutions caused smaller nations due to the fact that they were either culturally, ethically, or religiously different or a combination of those just listed • Complete abolishment of slavery in the South America didn’t occur until 1888 with Brazil being the last country to make slavery illegal • 1801 CE - Haiti was first wound up with the fact that the French Revolution’s constitution didn’t include Haiti even though they were a French colony. So Haiti’s slaves started to revolt and kill many French and other white slave holders and it got to the point to where they would just kill all the white people

  22. 1804 CE - Haiti was first and only country to have a successful slave revolution and granted slaves with full equality and declared independence • Latin Americas economy was mainly based off of agricultural and mineral resource • Latin American countries rarely traded with one another, most of their exports went straight to Europe.
