Unit 3 – Absolutism and Constitutionalism
Topic 3.4
How could Spanish colonization efforts in the Americas have developed differently without the influence of mercantilist practices?
All native populations would be completely assimilated without resistance into Spanish culture upon colonization.
The colonies might have evolved into independent city-states rather than being controlled by Spain.
Spain would not have pursued colonization at all due to lack of interest in foreign resources.
Colonies would be immediately granted independence after establishment with no ties remaining to Spain.
