Question

Mit’a System
Spanish system of force in South America
1450 - 1750 (please make this concise so I can study for my exam)

Answer 1

The Mit'a System was a Spanish colonial labor system in South America from 1450 to 1750 that required indigenous communities to provide a fixed number of workers for various projects, such as mining and agriculture, as an obligation to the Spanish crown. It involved the forced labor of indigenous peoples, resulting in exploitation and harsh conditions.
