How did conquest happen in the early Americas, beginning with the arrival of Europeans in 1492? How did different Indigenous and European societies comprehend and pursue conquest? How did “regular” people experience conquest and shape its aftermath? We'll answer these questions through primary and secondary sources, lectures, and in-class discussions. For our final project, we’ll contribute to Wikipedia what we've learned about the messy process of conquest—its conflicts, compromises, and complicities.
