Alessandro Barbero - Conquistadores (Intro)

The Spanish and Portuguese term conquistadores ("conquerors" in Italian) is commonly used to refer to the soldiers, explorers, and adventurers (some seeking fortune) who brought much of the Americas under the control of the Spanish colonial empire between the 15th and 17th centuries. The leaders of the Spanish military expeditions to the New World initially called themselves conquistadores, conquerors, as if to define a specific role exercised on behalf of the Kingdom of Castile. Most conquistadors were actually poor, impoverished nobles (hidalgos), or cadets devoted to arms, whose prospects in Spain after 1492, the year of the country's unification following the Reconquista, were extremely limited.
