Class Description

Spanish officials based in Mexico City ruled for three centuries over territory that stretched from Florida to the Philippines. This class looks at the conquest years, the creation of new cultural and economic patterns in the Americas, the rebellions and religious competitions, and the violent independence wars of the 1800s.
