प्रश्न
How did the 'small pox' prove as the most powerful weapon of the Spanish conquerors in the mid-sixteenth century? Explain.
उत्तर
In the sixteenth century, the Spanish conquerors arrived in America and began their conquest campaigns.
- Although they had strong weapons, they were not the strongest. Smallpox was one that they were able to defeat. The native population was affected by this disease, and because they lacked an immunity to it, they were unable to handle it.
- Smallpox killed the majority of the indigenous population, which made it very simple for the Spanish conquerors to take over their territory.
