Title: Spanish Empire’s History of Conquest

The film explores how Spain’s global dominance was achieved through a combination of military conquest, religious conversion, and economic exploitation. The close alliance between crown, church, and conquest drove the expansion, with faith and force reshaping societies in the Americas. The extraction of vast resources, like gold and silver, fueled European economies and integrated the Americas into a global system of extraction and inequality. The legacy of Spanish colonialism continues to influence modern social, cultural, and economic structures, with parallels drawn to current superpowers like the United States and China.
