“Much Abuse”: Spain’s King Offers Rare Concession on the Conquest of the Americas

Spain’s King Felipe VI acknowledged that “much abuse” occurred during the Spanish conquest of the Americas, a rare public admission amid ongoing tensions with Mexico over demands that Spain formally recognize and apologize for colonial-era violence against Indigenous peoples.

The Wild Hunt

Today in Labor History March 19, 1742: Tupac Amaru was born. Tupac Amaru II had led a large Andean uprising against the Spanish. As a result, he became a mythical figure in the Peruvian struggle for independence and in the indigenous rights movement. The Tupamaros revolutionary movement in Uruguay (1960s-1970s) took their name from him. As did the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary guerrilla group, in Peru, and the Venezuelan Marxist political party Tupamaro. American rapper, Tupac Amaru Shakur, was also named after him. Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda, wrote a poem called “Tupac Amaru (1781).” And Clive Cussler’s book, “Inca Gold,” has a villain who claims to be descended from the revolutionary leader.
