salud de Pizarro y dando su pesar por el deceso del Márquez. Relata el profundo dolor que siente por su muerte, aludiendo a que la única forma de olvidar ese dolor es la venganza. Sin embargo, narra que es consuelo saber que murió por servir a la corona. Y que su muerte fue honrada por el ilustre gobernador Vaca De Castro. Según Valdivia, es obligación del servidor, servir a su señor y es un honor por lo que su vida se la dedica a servir. Por otro lado, Valdivia pide a Pizarro ser tutor de los huérfanos

Mutual Misunderstanding of Maya and Spaniard in Yucatan, 1517-1570 In her study of the sixteenth century Maya, Inga Clendinnen quotes Antonio de Ciudad Real, saying “when the Spaniards discovered this land, their leader asked the Indians how it was called; as they did not understand him, they said uic athan, which means, what do you say or what do you speak, that we do not understand you. And then the Spaniard ordered it set down that it be called Yucatan.” Mutual misunderstanding and incommensurability
The Indians of Yucatan were described as a people of good physique, tall, robust and of great strength, and commonly are all bow-legged from having in their infancy been carried astride the mother's hip when they are taken somewhere. It was held as a grace to be cross-eyed, and this was artificially brought about by the mothers, who in infancy suspended a small plaster from the hair down between the eyebrows and reaching the eyes; this constantly binding, they finally became cross-eyed. They also

The Architectural History of the California Missions (1769-1823) You may already know that there are 21 missions today in the state of California. Starting in San Diego all the way past San Francisco, the missions remind us of an earlier time when the Spanish were colonizing Alta California. The California missions were started because the Spanish king wanted to create permanent settlements in the area of the New World called Alta California. The decision to create Spanish missions in California
Few Californians know hardly anything or nothing about California’s founding father. Fourth graders go on a field trip to a mission to learn about missions and then return to their regular lives, never wondering about missions again. Few of those children return to visit a mission. There is a chance that a few know of California’s founding father and who he was. Father Junipero Serra is that founding father who is just as important as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and several others
Francisco Pizarro Many people, especially those who live in present day Peru, do not know who Francisco Pizarro is and what he did. There are many great and important things he did in life.

He, accompanied by few of his men, were able to capture Atahualpa, Emperor of the mighty Inca Empire, and conquered the Incan Empire in the year of 1532.

He went back to Panama many times to ask for reinforcements. The governor of Panama gave him men and supplies in exchange for some gold. Pizarro’s partner , Diego de Almagro, went with him on many expeditions and always went back to Panama for men and supplies. The governor was becoming restless because he was not getting much gold. Almagro went to convince the governor that all was not lost and they received more reinforcements. With these men, he set sail for Peru and founded the city of Trujillo
“Three explorers from the Age of Exploration” Age of Explorations was a time of discovery of the new world during the 15th through 17th century. Many Explorers were in search for new passage ways, new trading ports, new land, new spices, and riches.

It was not until 1536 that CHILE was explored by a Spaniard named Diego de Almagro. Almagro was an associate of Francisco Pizarro in the conquest of Peru.

and always wanted to have the same opportunity for himself. When he was about thirty-four, Pizarro set out with Alonzo de Ojeda on a trip to Columbia, and proved to be a very productive leader. Three years later Pizarro accompanied Vasco Núñez de Balboa to the “South Sea,” where they found what is today known as the Pacific Ocean. In 1524 Pizarro, Diego de Almagro, and Fernando de Luque joined forces to set off to the San Juan River and beyond, which allowed the chance to explore the southern coast
La carta de Pedro de Valdivia a Hernando Pizarro es una descripción, posterior a sutil reproche que le hace por no haberle escrito desde hace ya un año y medio, de cómo fue enviado a conquistar nuevas tierras en nombre de la corona, tiene un poco de egocentrismo, puesto que en casi toda las carta, describe aspectos propios, del cómo, por qué y bajo qué circunstancias fue designado con la misión de conquistar y colonizar las tierras que Almagro, en una expedición anterior, llamo Chile y de cómo a pesar
Spanish Colonialism and the Indigenous People of Bolivia Prior to Spanish discovery of the new world, the area now known as Bolivia was home to three major ethnic and linguistic groups; the Uru, Aymara, and Quechua. The Uru lived on rafts, fishing and foraging along the shore of Lake Titicaca. The Aymara dominated the Uru, reducing their status to poor fishermen and landless workers. Aymara society was built upon a basic social unit of kinship that organized the distribution of labor, and this

Throughout the expedition many men were dying due to starvation, illnesses, and native attacks. About a year after, Pizarro started to gain wealth and befriended Diego de Almagro, finally setting sail on another expedition to South America. On their trip they found an abundance of gold and took it for themselves. After coming back from that expedition with Almagro, Pizarro heard of
