In the period of the conquest of the American continent , the conquerors were mostly commoners , nobles, members of the gentry , for combat veterans and adventurers . The conquered lands they were nicknamed the New World , because there was an estrangement between European cultures and those of natives. To tame the territory , many battles between Indians and Europeans, with a negative balance for the first group were fought .<br /><br />The greed of the European and the bloody battles against the Indians were found in the book " A Brief Relation of the Destruction of the Indies " , Friar Bartolomé de Las Casas . The book recounted the actions taken by the Spaniards discovered lands and later was used by supporters of Leyenda Negra .<br /><br />The scope of this publication caused in Spain to ban the term " conquest " to refer to colonization in the Americas. From there begins to be employed only the word "discovery " . Among the main days of the conquistadors in America , stand out from the Pedro Alvarez Cabral , Christopher Columbus , Cabeza de Vaca and Balboa ." - in http://www.infoescola.com/historia/conquistadores/ Your work is extremely nice and inspiring!
