The movie "España, la primera globalización" is a Spanish documentary that explores Spain's role in the first globalization period, which began in the 16th century. It features interviews with historians, experts, and writers, and uses archival footage.
One of the biggest issues with the movie is that Spanish scholars justify the atrocities of the explorers against the entire indigenous civilization existing in the Americas by claiming that other European countries did the same or even worse than the Spanish conquerors. Another big mistake is to state that Spanish navigators were discoverers of the new land. There were already great empires such as the Incas, Aztecs, Mayans, Guaranis, Tupinambás, Tupis, Apaches, Shawees, Navajos, Inuit, and many others in American lands. They should be recognized as decimators, they exterminated and devastated the natives, their lands, their culture, and their forests.
How can these scholars minimize the destruction of all indigenous cultures in America? How is it possible to boast that Spain created the first universities in America when these were only attended by the children of the colonizers?
Before watching this documentary, ask yourself why all the countries considered "discovered" by Spain and Portugal in the Americas are still considered third-world countries and countries colonized by the British, i.e. The United States and Canada are not. The only interest of Spain and Portugal was to "steal" all of America's natural resources while the British intuition was to colonize, to populate even with despicable individuals from Europe.
