Answer 1

Answer: Your answer is C (they learned new ways to farm their land)

Explanation: When the Spanish arrived in the Americas, there were two dominant empires there - the Aztec Empire and the Inca Empire. Despite their advanced societies and cultures, the Spanish saw these Indigenous peoples as primitive, godless 'savages'. They quickly set to work enslaving their people and devastating their cultures.
