The targets considered as gods by the Indians at the beginning of the conquest, went on to become demons when they started looting and persecution of women to download them all their brutality libidinous, booty, therefore, not only was desperately seeking gold but also that “other gold” that is, women, war therefore had several motives: to conquer and colonize, loot and get rich, evangelize and impose its values and thoughts and strategies done by many women however contempt them because the Spanish never loved, hated to Indian men and women but sought everywhere for its gory end, therefore, on the basis of rape, basically, did the mixing in America. The mestizo is the offspring of violence but also the germ of the future nationality because they are the ones who later will rebel against their parents.
