and Papal Bull he was free to do whatever he liked. The lands were claimed for Spain and a few captives and a little gold were taken back to be shown off. Although the Queen was disappointed that the adventure had failed to provide Spain with a new route to China, a second voyage was financed to search for more gold and to collect the taxes, which were to be levied on her new subjects. The brutality of the Spanish conquerors as they squeezed what gold they could find out of the "Indians" has become legendary. The slaughter, combined with epidemics of diseases for which the "New Word" peoples had no immunity, resulted in the complete extermination of the original inhabitants of many of the islands and perhaps as much as 80 percent of the continental population. But European arrogance still took a largely religious form. These new people had no rights because they were savage and heathen. (Fredrickson, 1981, p 8). For example it was necessary for the conquistadors to read "The Requirement" to the peoples they intended to invade. The version read to a high official of the Inca empire off Tumbes, Peru in 1526 illustrates the European mind-set of the time. "I, Francisco Pizarro, servant of the high and mighty kings of Castile and Leon, conquerors of barbarian peoples...hereby notify and inform you...that God Our Lord, One and Eternal, created heaven and earth and a man and a woman from whom you and I and all the people of the world are descended... And so I request and require you...to recognize the Church as your Mistress and as governess of the world and universe, and the High Priest, called the Pope, and his Majesty (King of Spain), as ruler and Lord King...And if you do not do this...with the help of God I shall come mightily against you, and I shall make war on you everywhere...and I shall seize your women and children, and I shall make them slaves...And I insist that the deaths and destruction that result from this will be your fault." (Wright, 1993, p 65-66) When the native Americans refused to accept such arrogant proclamations, the Spaniards felt free to do their worst, killing and enslaving the "infidels".
