Today in class of Social Science, We have started whith a review of what we have read the other day about the Economy in the 16th century.
In this century there was a price revolution, as a consecuence of the big amount of precious metals from Indies. And there was not enough production to satisfy the demand.Many products were imported from Europe.
Economy was more developed in the Crown of Aragon.
Then we have done a scheme of the CONQUEST ADMINISTRATION AND EXPLOITATION OF THE INDIES. We have learned about the conquest and its features were:
Quick conquest due to Military superiority of the conquistadors: horses, gun, gunpowder

- Ambitions of the conquistadors.
-Impact of the European diseases over the Amerindians.
And we have learned and written on our schemes the stage, There were 3:
1st the conquest of the Antilles, 2nd the conquest of the Aztec Empire, and finally the conquest of the Inca Empire.
The the teacher Paqui has said we have to do the rest of the scheme in our home for homeworks.
The she has given our projects on Renaisance Art back, but the teacher has to look our job again, I would like to get more mark. And we have learned new vocabulary like:inflation , deflation, saving... and a lot new more words !
And this is all for Today, have a nice wekend!
