For example, the Quito rebellion, had limited repercussions because of the city’s remoteness, according to Elliott. The author describes Quito as a lonesome city in the Andean highlands and that despite being incorporated into the viceroyalty of New Granada, it took eight to ten weeks to reach the viceroyalty’s capital. Furthermore, a few decades later, the Tupac Amaru Rebellion in Peru, which encompassed a bigger territory, still didn’t have a big enough impact on the rest of the Spanish
Depictions in New Spain No image permeates Christian Art more than the image of the Madonna. From its earliest depictions in Europe and its manifestations in the Byzantine, Medieval, and Renaissance eras, the iconic image of the Virgin Mary has resonated with audiences for centuries.

New institutions were forming and new people and ideas flooded into the new lands freshly claimed for the Spanish Empire. Two remarkable women, radically different from each other, who lived during this period of change are a lenses through which many of the new institutions and changes can be viewed.

and mestizo Campesino, or farmers/peasants, against Bourbon reforms from the Spaniard Viceroyalty at Peru. The goal of Tupac Amaru was to separate upper Peru, which is now modern-day Bolivia, and Argentina, which was only a territory before it became known as modern-day Argentina, from the Viceroys that had invaded Peru. The Spaniards invaded and established their authority over the people of Latin America
Puerto Rico, and the Philippines grew eager for their independence from Spain. The Empire was met with strong resistance by rebel fighters from each nation, influencing a greater event known as the Spanish American War. The unfair and often racist treatment of lower-class-mixed-race citizens under the Spanish Empire ignited many rebellions that separated not only Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, but the country of Spain as well. Cuba was the one of the first few nations to struggle for their

The religion’s reach from across the Atlantic proved to be just as strong as from Europe, and consequently played a large role in the development of culture and society within Latin American colonies.

In regards to Peru, the role of the Inquisition served as a governing body. Irene Silverblatt’s Modern
