1a. They began their subjection of the women and children by taking them away from the Indians to use them and ill use them, eating the food the provided with their sweat and toil.
2a. For every Spaniard killed they killed 100 Indians.
3a. The divers were treated very badly, when they were at camp they were tied up and they were forced to dive all day and be underwater for minutes at a time. Infernal and desperate.
4a. they took advantage of the Indians because they knew they could out smart them and if that didn't work they knew that they had better and stronger weapons and could always just kill them if they stepped out of line. The Spaniard regard the Indians as workers and nothing more, they don't even consider them people.
1b. Because they are FAT!!!
2b. Because they considered the Indians lesser them, so they thought it was ok to kill them.
3b. If they didn't die from suffocation or getting eaten by a shark they get pneumonia from diving into the cold water so much and they end up dieing coughing up blood.
4b. It was for money and riches. de las Casas was the same up until 1515 when he realized what he was doing was wrong.
K.C. - # 1b, it's not really because they are fat, but because they are greedy and just need to eat more.
