Answer the following study questions in a 600-word-minimum
essay, quoting the film, your text book, and each of your primary
document sources from above in the essay to help support your
conclusions. (4 quoted and cited passages minimum required). Make
sure you provide properly formatted parenthetical citations of your
sources after all quoted materials. Do not answer in bullet points
or in a numbered list. I want this composed as an essay. At the end
of your essay you must post a study question of your own for your
fellow students to consider and answer in their response posts.
1. Give FULL identification of the documentary film, your
textbook, and the two literary documents: When were they created?
What kind of a primary source are they? Who created them? where?
why? Who were the intended audience?
2. Explain Jared Diamond’s premise as to WHY and HOW
the Europeans conquered the New World.
3. What comparisons of similarities and/or differences can
you make between the histories and theories portrayed in the film,
discussed in your textbook, and the content of the writings of
Bartolomeo De Las Casas?
4. How does the document of the King and Queen of Spain in
granting royal privileges to Columbus support and/or challenge
content discussed in the film and in your text?
5. In a Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda scenario, had the European
Empires tried to settle the New World without warfare and
bloodshed, would the ultimate outcome of physical and cultural
annihilation been any different for the Native American tribes?
