In the 16th century, Spaniards established a powerful empire in North America. The

monarchs and merchants tried to gain entry but the Spain had a powerful force which forced

them out. It is until late 16th century that the England approached the North Americas areas to

define their territories (Faragher 47). The entrance of Spaniards into North America marked an

historical transformation of both Spain’s social and economic aspects. Though it may have not

have been a good experience for the Northern Americans, they had to interact together to reduce

conflict and gain benefits of the economic activities.

The Spaniards opened North America and turned it into new trade opportunities. The

success is attributed the acceptance of Native Americans to work with them. During the initial

stages the Spaniards spent time fishing along the North Americas coast. With the expanding

fishing activities, the other colonies realized the economic importance of the North Atlantic

waters. The interest and ideologies of gaining territories on the land grew. The England came

into North America to establish colony. They further introduced Tobacco farming on the

territories (48). North America eventually developed a diversified economic activity which

benefited Spaniards too. The activities enhanced trade and introduction of the new crops. The

Atlantic trade grew into the stronghold for developing successful colonies. The fur traders

improved the French economy, at some point French monopolized the fur trade to benefit their

territories. For the period, the Spain benefited themselves with the reaches as North America

grew as the traders and agricultural activities flourished. Spaniards, therefore, has a lot of reasons

to thank the native North Americans for collaborating and allowing the Spaniards to benefit from

the flourished activities.

The European interactions with the native North Americans helped a lot in the survival of

Europeans in the new land. Taking the case of Pueblo tribes/villages, they managed to rebel

against the Spaniards rules. Pueblo organized a major rebellion act which drove Spaniards a lot.

The European had to a new way of surviving the powerful native territories. The Spaniards at

first never took time to understand the natives. Instead, through the beliefs on the king and

religious leaders, they mistreated the natives and forced them to work under their rules. In

retaliation the natives organized a serious revolution which killed and wrenched the Spaniards

convoy (Faragher 43). Most of the soldier were killed and those who survived lived in the native

land until they were rescued by the Spain slave hunters (Faragher 43). The experience became a

new lesson on defining measure to survive in the new lands. They had to develop positive

relation and even make agreements with the leaders.

The were many attempts from the powerful kingdoms to stop the Europeans from taking

over the territories. The kingdoms emerged successful at the first instances (Faragher 44). The

Europeans never gave up on stabling territories. At some instances they moved on to other are

and cities to establish separate territories. At the end of it all, the Europeans managed to infiltrate

into the high resistance zones. Aztecs kingdom for example, governed Mexico for a very long

time. A serious Epidemic eventually wipes out the large portion of Aztecs territory (Faragher

43). As a result the territory weakened. Eight years the Spaniards took over the territory. Peublo

territory was also taken over through Spaniard forces. The attempt by some natives to secure the

locations became fruitless as Europeans focus to take over intensified.
