1 янв 1512 г. - Encomienda System Established

Описание:

The encomienda system was a labor system instituted by the Spanish Crown during the colonization of the Americas, which granted Spanish settlers (encomenderos) the right to compel the labor of the indigenous people in a particular area. Criticized for its exploitative nature and often brutal conditions, the encomienda system greatly affected the lives of indigenous peoples, led to significant demographic shifts, and played a crucial role in the economic development of Spain's New World colonies.
