@sult78 it was a progeam like doctor quin bananza roots that kind of thing of a hour showings that ran for a while this was form quite well in to it run I have seen dvds box sets for sale on the net there was a lot of eps to the show as it showed history and srories over a no of years
Something that always surprises me is that in popular culture the cruelest conquest was the Spanish. I'm not suggesting it was something good, but at least there are many countries in Latin America which are mostly mixed races, which shows that at least indians were given a place in society (as can be expected, it was the lowest possible).
@Esteban2000 It was because of the Catholic faith which almost all spaniards professed. When a indian was baptized the conquistador could have sex with her and that wasn't sin, not so the protestant confessions who believed in the inherent superiority of the white race and that any sex out of wedlock was a great sin before God's eyes. I'm peruvian and I've read lot of chronicles written by the first spaniards who arrived and the admiration they felt for the Inca culture jumped from every line.
@Esteban2000 Not so the journals written by Custer and other officers who undertook the conquest of the wild west, in which the officers described the native americans as savages dirty pagans and sub-human rascals. The Conquistadores such as Francisco Pizarro fully acknowledged the incas as human beings and NEVER tried to change their way of living, only that they had to convert to catholicism, but their language, culture and ways remained intact until almost now, I know it for real.

Can any English conquered region say the same?

I feel so sorry for them. I don't see how my ancestors could live through this.

Another way that prejudice to the "natives" has been displayed.
