Which of the following is a long-term consequence of Spanish conquests in the Americas? (1 point)
• encouragement of native plants
•
changes in Catholic Church doctrine to suit the needs of Indigenous peoples
• a growing interdependence between the Americans and Eumppe
implementation of cattle farming in Europe
None of the options listed are long-term consequences of Spanish conquests in the Americas. However, a potential long-term consequence could be the introduction of European diseases to the Indigenous populations, which resulted in mass death and population decline. Another long-term consequence could be the establishment of Spanish as the dominant language in the conquered territories, which still persists in many Latin American countries today. Additionally, the forced labor system known as the encomienda, which exploited Indigenous peoples for economic gain, may also be considered a long-term consequence.
