Latin American history and culture

The following work establishes a dialogue between some concepts proposed as military strategies of conquest by Nikolas Machiavelli in his text The Prince and other authors of the time, their possible relationships and contradictions in the context of the Indoamerican conquest by the Spanish crown and some power groups. The texts that will be discussed will be The Brief History of the Destruction of the Indies by Fray Bartolome de las Casas, La Bula Inter-Caetera by Alejandro VI and The Controversy of Valladolid, since many of the aspects raised in these texts allow to extract historical data that are considered of great importance for their historical, anthropological, geographical, theological, philosophical and political references.
