//__European point of view__//
1 - Columbus 2 - Indigenous tribe (Aztec) 3 - King of Spain

Narrator: Once upon a time, Columbus found land he has never seen before. He decided to call the land the “New World” and he began to discover the creatures that were living there.

1: Wow! I found a new land! I’ll call it the “New World”

2: wawawagagawawgagwag

1: what are these uneducated stupid creatures?

2: wagewwgawgwg

1: hmmm I’ll bring you to Spain.

Narrator: Columbus thought these people who were actually part of the Aztec tribe in Latin America were strange creatures, so he brought them to the king in Spain.

1: Your majesty, I have returned from the New World.

3: Yes, Columbus, I see that you have returned safely. What is that you have behind you?

1: It is a native from the New World called the Indians.

3: Ahhh, how exotic and fascinating~

2: Wagagag

1: These creatures are inferior and illiterate. Please use them as you will.

3: I show my gratitude towards your gift. Do you have anything more that is interesting?

1: Yes, your majesty, I have brought a bird that mocks humans. It is called a parrot.

3: Ahh how interesting~ Have you brought any wealth to your mother country?

1: Of course, I have found gold that might interest you very much.

3: Hahahaha, I want more of these exotic things from the New World. I will sponsor you to find more gold and slaves for me.

1: Thank you, your majesty

Narrator: Columbus did not only bring the new creatures, but he also brought gold and anything that would bring Spain wealth. The Spanish started to dominate control over the properties of people from the new world.

1: You Aztecs are not making good use of the plentiful gold that you have, so the superior, who is I, should make good use of it.

2: wagagagwagwga?

1: We can conquer your tribe with just 50 men. Pssst, why am I talking to an animal? You don’t even understand me. Hahahaha

Narrator: The Spanish people started to educate the Aztecs who came from the New World. Because they thought the people from the new world were basically dumb, they used them as their slaves. This slave system was called Peonage. The slaves’ labor was free, so it was a good way of saving money for Spain.

1: I’ll use you as a slave! Hahahahaha you’ll be sold in a very high price.

2:….wagwgawg?

1: I’ll also teach you our culture and our language. I will change you Aztecs completely into a Spaniard. (1 teaching 2 how to eat, talk, and act like a Spaniard)

1: Hello in Spanish is “ohla.” Repeat after me, “ohla.”

2: “Ohla~”

1: you got better in Spanish. Your tribe became less stupid after the arrival of the Spaniards.

2: “Ohla~”

1: Now dress like a Spaniard. A suit can make you look less stupid.

2: Ahh~

1: Here wear this (gives 2 a suit)

2: I thank you. Spaniard good. Spaniard thank you help.

Narrator: The Spanish spreaded their culture to the Aztecs. They taught them how to eat, how to speak, and how to dress. Because of the spreaded culture of Europe into the people from the New World, their technology has developed as well, and therefore, their trading system developed.

**//__Indigenous Perspective__//**
Aztec Slave: Master, please, may I rest just a few seconds?

Master: Sure. One. Two. Three. Now go work again.

Aztec Slave: Master please!!!

Master: Work you lazy creature! We educated you and improved your ways of living. If you really feel thankful, then work for us.

Aztec Slave: But we don’t even get paid for working! This is too much!

Master: Do you not feel thankful to us?

Aztec Slave: Well yes we do but…

Master: Then go work!!!

Aztec Slave: Okay..

Narrator: The people from the new world became slaves of the Spanish people, and they did free labor.

Spanish: Hmmm.. You do have a lot of gold. Do you mind if we take that away from you?

Aztec: Well… What are you going to do with it?

Spanish: You don’t even know what gold is. Just give it to me. I’ll take good care of it.

Aztec: But…

Spanish: Thank you!

Narrator: The Spanish took away gold from the Latin American region to help their own country become wealthy.

Spanish: Now! I will teach you the great European ways of living. The way you live right not is just so pathetic! I cannot even look at it.

Aztec: But I like how we are..

Spanish: (Ignores) So first, try these European clothes on. They should be much better than the low quality clothes you are wearing right now.

Aztec: Well, I guess it is better than our clothes.

Spanish: Now, why don’t you try some European food? They taste way better than your food.

Aztec: It tastes very unique. Are you sure it is better than our food?

Spanish: Whatever. Now shoo and go learn some Spanish from your master.

Narrator: The Spanish spreaded their European culture to the Aztecs. They spreaded European clothing, European customs and other European culture. This was almost forced and the Aztecs began to lose their own culture.

**//__Consequences__//**
Narrator 1: There were many consequences left in Latin America. The Economy of Latin America improved, but they still depended hardly on exportation. Because the economy improved, more trade occurred in Latin America. This actually benefitted foreigh nations more because there were more raw materials available for them to make manufactured goods.

Narrator 2: Latin America did not develop a new system of making manufactured goods, so they highly depended on the importation of manufactured goods from Europs and the United States. This is why Latin America still remains unindustrialized. The new made Panama Canal provided a way to become connected to the ocean, and new developed technology resulted in the development in steamships, railroads, and a new system of refrigerating.

Narrator 3: Latin America made a lot of money from trading, but they did not use this money to build facilities. Instead, they borrowed money from many other countries but did not pay back. As a result, they were economically colonialized by European countried and the United States, so economically many parts of Latin America have been taken away by foreign countries.

Power Point presentation

European Perspective  o  They helped Indigenous tribes to become more educated and literate  o  Gold was brought from Latin America which made them wealthier  o  Their culture was spreaded to Latin Americans (language, clothing, food, etc)  o  Maintained a slave system called peonage, and this was good because they didn’t have to pay them; it was a good way of saving money  o  They helped develop the technology of Latin America Indigenous Perspective  o  They were tortured and had to do manual labor without being payed  o  Their natural resources were stolen by Europeans (gold)  o  They lost their culture because of the new European ways of living  o  They did become more educated but most of their culture was destroyed Consequences  o  Economy of Latin America improved, but depended on exportation  o  The Panama Canal provides connection and transportation routes to the oceans, but it was controlled basically by the United States.  o  Development of technology (steamships, railroads, refrigeration)  o  Foreign nations benefited more from increased trade than Latin America (They provided raw materials for the European nations to make manufactured goods, and they imported the manufactured goods back, so they still remain unindustrialized)  o  Latin America had huge national debts from borrowing money to build facilities and not paying them back (they were economically colonialized by European countries and the U.S.)
