D. were bitter trade rivals in Southeast Asia until the Dutch won out.
is it D
I think both are D.
For the first question, the correct answer is C. Amerindians became more maltreated than before. Bartolomé de Las Casas was a Spanish historian and Dominican friar who wrote extensively about the mistreatment of indigenous populations in the Americas. While his publications brought attention to the abuses suffered by Amerindians, it did not lead to their recognition and respect of their rights, nor did it significantly change the maltreatment they experienced.
Regarding the second question, the correct answer is D. were bitter trade rivals in Southeast Asia until the Dutch won out. The Dutch and Portuguese were indeed trade rivals in Southeast Asia, particularly in the spice trade. Eventually, the Dutch emerged as the dominant power in the region.
To determine the correct answer to these questions, we can break down each option and analyze the statements provided.
1. As a result of the publications of Bartolomé de Las Casas:
A. Amerindian rights were recognized and respected.
B. the encomienda system was established.
C. Amerindians became more maltreated than before.
D. the Spanish government was more attentive to the needs of the native populations.
To find the correct answer, we need to consider the impact of Bartolomé de Las Casas' publications. Las Casas was a Spanish Dominican friar who advocated for the rights and better treatment of the indigenous peoples of the Americas during the colonial period. His writings highlighted the oppression and mistreatment suffered by the indigenous population.
Option A states that Amerindian rights were recognized and respected. While Las Casas' publications did raise awareness and contribute to a growing concern for the well-being of indigenous peoples, it would be incorrect to say that their rights were fully recognized and respected as a direct result of his publications.
Option D suggests that the Spanish government was more attentive to the needs of the native populations. This statement aligns more closely with the impact of Las Casas' writings. Although it took time for significant changes to occur, his publications did lead to some reforms and a heightened awareness of the mistreatment of indigenous peoples within Spanish society.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. The Spanish government was more attentive to the needs of the native populations as a result of the publications of Bartolomé de Las Casas.
Moving on to the second question:
2. The Dutch and Portuguese:
A. worked together in Southeast Asia to counter the strength of the French and the Danes.
B. tried to induce the inhabitants of areas under their control to accept Islam, and thus make them easier to control.
C. played no part in European trade with Africa.
D. were bitter trade rivals in Southeast Asia until the Dutch won out.
Option D states that the Dutch and Portuguese were bitter trade rivals in Southeast Asia until the Dutch won out. This statement is accurate. During the period of European colonization and expansion, both the Dutch and Portuguese competed for dominance in various regions, including Southeast Asia. Eventually, the Dutch managed to overcome the Portuguese and establish their supremacy in the area.
Therefore, your choice of D as the correct answer is correct.
