    Explanation
    The given answer suggests that according to the Law of Christian Nations, native people have no rights to their land because they were not Christian at the time they were discovered. This implies that Christianity is considered the law of the land, and all laws are based on Christ's teachings. Therefore, it is believed that no Christian nation can seize the lands of non-Christians. This explanation highlights the discriminatory and ethnocentric nature of the Law of Christian Nations, which disregards the rights of native people based on their religious beliefs.

"Low people, or flow birth" and "cleanliness/purity of blood" are unrelated to the term, while "converted Jew/Muslims" is a specific group of people and does not encompass all rational individuals. Therefore, the correct answer is "rational people."

This belief ultimately played a role in the downfall of the Aztec empire as Cortes took advantage of Moctezuma's trust and eventually conquered the Aztecs.

    • A.

      THE SUPERIOR IDEOLOGY OF THE SPANIARDS

    • B.

      THE RAVAGES OF DISEASE INTRODUCED BY THE SPANIARDS

      INDIAN SUPERSTITION ABOUT HORSES

    Correct Answer
    B. THE RAVAGES OF DISEASE INTRODUCED BY THE SPANIARDS
    Explanation
    The swift fall of the Indian empires was primarily caused by the ravages of disease introduced by the Spaniards. When the Spanish arrived in the Americas, they brought with them diseases such as smallpox, measles, and influenza, which the indigenous populations had no immunity against. These diseases spread rapidly among the native people, resulting in high mortality rates and weakening the Indian empires. This allowed the Spaniards to easily conquer and control large territories, as the native populations were severely diminished and unable to effectively resist.

    Rate this question:

  • 29.

      OUT MIGRATION

    • B.

      DEATH BY DISEASE

    • C.

      DEATH BY WAR AND VIOLENCE

    • D.

      DEATH BY OVERWORK

    Correct Answer
    A. OUT MIGRATION
    Explanation
    The decline of the native population was caused by death by disease, death by war and violence, and death by overwork. However, out migration is not a reason for the decline of the native population. Out migration refers to people leaving a certain area, which does not directly contribute to a decline in population.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    THE FIRST TIME A POPULATION IS EXPOSED TO A NEW DISEASE THE ATTRTION RATE (RATE OF INFECTION) IS

    • A.

      1/3

    • B.

      1/2

    • C.

      2/3

    • D.

      3/4

    Correct Answer
    C. 2/3
    Explanation
    When a population is exposed to a new disease for the first time, the attrition rate or rate of infection is likely to be high. This is because the population has not developed any immunity or resistance to the disease yet. As a result, a larger proportion of the population is susceptible to getting infected, leading to a higher rate of infection. Therefore, the correct answer is 2/3, indicating that approximately two-thirds of the population is expected to be infected when exposed to a new disease for the first time.

    WHEN THE INDIAN POPULATION DECLINED DRASTICALLY IN THE CARIBBEAN THEY WERE REPLACED IN THE MINES BY

    • A.

      CHINESE LABORERS

    • B.

      AFRICAN SLAVES

    • C.

      IRISH IMMIGRANTS

    • D.

      RUSSIAN JEWS

    Correct Answer
    B. AFRICAN SLAVES
    Explanation
    When the Indian population declined drastically in the Caribbean, they were replaced in the mines by African slaves. This suggests that the African slaves were brought in to fill the labor gap left by the declining Indian population. The transatlantic slave trade was prevalent during that time, and African slaves were forcibly brought to the Caribbean to work in various industries, including mining. This answer aligns with historical records and the practice of using African slaves as a source of labor in the Caribbean during that period.

    Peninsulares were full-blooded Spaniards born in Spain. This term was used during the colonial period in Latin America to refer to individuals who were of Spanish descent and were born in Spain. They held the highest social and political status in the colonies and were often appointed to high-ranking positions in the government and the Catholic Church. Peninsulares were seen as superior to other groups in the colonies, such as Criollos (Spaniards born in the Americas) or mestizos (people of mixed European and indigenous ancestry).

      NEW SPAIN

    Correct Answer
    D. NEW SPAIN
    Explanation
    The given answer, "NEW SPAIN," is correct because the question states that the area now known as Southwest and Mexico was originally called by the Spaniards. "New Spain" was the name given by the Spanish colonizers to the territory they claimed and settled in the Americas during the 16th century. This name was used to refer to the vast region that included present-day Mexico, Central America, and parts of the United States.

    ALL OF THE FOLLOWING WERE REASONS THAT THE SPANIARDS WERE UNABLE TO SETTLE LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE IN NORTHERN NEW SPAIN EXCEPT

    • A.

      HARSH DESERT CLIMATE

    • C.

      ABUNDANCE OF JOBS

    • D.

      LACK OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR WEALTH

    Correct Answer
    C. ABUNDANCE OF JOBS
    Explanation
    The Spaniards were unable to settle large numbers of people in Northern New Spain due to several reasons. The hostile nomadic Indians posed a threat to their settlements, making it unsafe for people to live there. The harsh desert climate made it difficult for agriculture and other forms of sustenance. Lack of opportunities for wealth also discouraged people from settling in the region. However, the abundance of jobs was not a reason for their inability to settle, as it would have attracted people looking for employment opportunities.

    Correct Answer
    A. RAIDED SPANISH SHIPS AND UNDEFENDED COASTAL TOWNS
    Explanation
    The correct answer suggests that the pirates of the Caribbean engaged in the activity of raiding Spanish ships and undefended coastal towns. This implies that the pirates were a significant threat to Spanish maritime trade and coastal settlements, causing disruption and potentially economic loss. The pirates likely targeted Spanish ships carrying valuable goods and took advantage of the lack of defense in coastal towns to carry out their raids. This activity would have had a significant impact on Spanish colonial interests in the Caribbean region.

    Correct Answer
    D. THE SPANISH COLONIES COULD TRADE WITH OTHER EUROPEANS POWERS AND THEIR COLONIES
    Explanation
    The Bourbon reforms aimed to centralize and modernize the administration of the Spanish colonies in the Americas. They introduced several changes, such as replacing the viceroy system with intendants and establishing two convoys for trade between Spain and the colonies. However, one thing that did not change under the Bourbon reforms was the restriction on trade between the Spanish colonies and other European powers and their colonies.

    Correct Answer
    C. THERE WERE NOW TWO CONVOYS LEAVING TO AND FROM SPAIN EACH YEAR
    Explanation
    The given correct answer suggests that one of the changes that occurred during the Bourbon rule was the increase in the number of convoys leaving to and from Spain each year. This implies that there was an increase in trade and communication between Spain and its colonies. The increase in convoys could have facilitated the exchange of goods, ideas, and resources, leading to a stronger connection between the Spanish colonies and other European powers.

    Explanation
    The Bourbon reforms included the replacement of criollos (people of Spanish descent born in the colonies) in important offices by peninsulares (people born in Spain). This policy aimed to centralize power and control in the hands of the Spanish crown, as peninsulares were seen as more loyal and obedient to the crown's interests. By replacing criollos with peninsulares, the Spanish government hoped to strengthen its control over the colonies and ensure that colonial administration aligned with its policies and goals.

    Correct Answer
    A. THE SPANISH COLONIES COULD NOW TRADE WITH EACH OTHER
    Explanation
    The Bourbon reforms allowed the Spanish colonies to engage in trade with each other. This was a significant change as previously, trade between the colonies was restricted and controlled by Spain. The reforms aimed to promote economic growth and development within the colonies by allowing them to establish direct trade routes and exchange goods and resources with one another. This change also reduced the dependence of the colonies on Spain for trade and opened up new opportunities for commerce and economic activity within the colonies themselves.
