1 answer

The direct effects of Pizarro and Cortez's defeats of native Americans include:

  1. Inspiration for other Europeans to begin explorations and settlements - The successes of Cortez in Mexico and Pizarro in Peru served as powerful examples to other European powers, inspiring further exploration and colonization in the Americas.

  2. Settlement and colonization in the Southwest - The victories of Pizarro and Cortez contributed to the Spanish Empire's focus on colonization in various parts of the Americas, including the southwestern regions of what is now the United States.

Spanish rule would also be considered a direct effect, as these conquests directly led to the establishment of Spanish authority and governance over large territories in the Americas.

However, fighting between the Spanish and the French is not a direct effect of the defeats of native Americans by Pizarro and Cortez; while conflicts did occur, they were not a direct consequence of their conquests.

In summary, the correct selections reflecting direct effects would be:

  • Inspiration for other Europeans to begin explorations and settlements
  • Settlement and colonization in the Southwest
  • Spanish rule
