A Review of Matthew Restall's "Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest"
Abstract
This is an in-depth review of Restall's work reviewing each of his seven myths. Discussed is the plight of the Native Americans, and how many things highly regarded as facts concerning the South American Spanish Conquistadors are ultimately propped up falsehoods. The paper ranges from falsehoods regarding why the Spanish were active in South America to their relations and intentions with the native population.
