I don’t know how to handle this History question and need guidance.

1. What kind of text was the

Requerimiento?

2. How did the

Requerimiento

shaped the habits of the subjugators?

3. Why is the

Rquerimiento

compared to the Islamic tradition of

jihad, what was

the Reconquista

?

4. Europeans justified colonization by seeing natives as barbarians, as it

happened when Atahualpa throws the bible on the floor because it did not

“speak” to him. What does cultural critic Antonio Cornejo Polar observe?

5. How did the

Requerimiento

channel the Spanish lust for gold?

6. According to Beasley Murray the threats to Catholic and Spanish imperial

traditions did not come from the indigenous but from who?

7. How would Columbus continue to fuel the fantasy he had reached a new

route to the East Indies?
