Colonization In America Custom Essay

The English and the Spanish were enemies in Europe, yet the English sought to mimic Spain’s imperial success in the Americas. Despite their efforts, however, the English proved unable to build the same kind of empire in the Americas as the Spanish. Why
was that? Write an essay that compares and contrasts the English and Spanish approaches to colonization of the Americas. How were they similar and how were they
different? What were the goals of the two groups? What historical precedents (Reconquista, conquest of Ireland) influenced how each group approached the colonization of America? In crafting your answer, think about categories like culture and religion, the natural environment, the social organization of the various groups
(Spanish, English, Indian), and the purposes of colonization.
