 Let’s delve into the lasting legacy of these figures and their impact on history:

Francisco Pizarro's Legacy

Francisco Pizarro is remembered as the conqueror of the Inca Empire, a feat that dramatically expanded Spain's influence in South America. His success not only brought immense wealth to Spain through gold and silver but also left a lasting cultural impact, shaping the colonial structure and governance in the region. However, his legacy is controversial due to the ruthless methods employed during the conquest, including the execution of Atahualpa, the Inca emperor.
Pizarro's role in the internal conflicts with Diego de Almagro also underscores his ambition and desire for dominance. The assassination of Pizarro by Almagristas (led by Diego de Almagro II) further emphasizes the divisive and violent nature of these rivalries.

Diego de Almagro's Legacy

Diego de Almagro, while less successful than Pizarro in achieving wealth or political power, is remembered for his exploratory spirit. His expedition to Chile marked an important step in Spanish expansion, despite its lack of immediate rewards. The loyalty he inspired among his followers persisted even after his death, with his son Diego de Almagro II continuing the struggle against the Pizarro faction.
Almagro’s execution and the subsequent rebellion led by his son serve as poignant examples of the power struggles that defined the era of conquest. His story symbolizes both the adventurous ambitions of the conquistadors and the tragic consequences of their conflicts.

Broader Impact on Colonial History

The rivalry between Pizarro and Almagro highlighted the challenges faced by the Spanish Crown in managing its colonies. The chaos and civil wars among conquistadors demonstrated the need for stronger governance, prompting the establishment of institutions like the Viceroyalty of Peru. This system helped consolidate Spanish power but also intensified the exploitation of Indigenous peoples and resources.

Modern Perspectives

In modern times, figures like Pizarro and Almagro are viewed with a mix of admiration and criticism. While their courage and determination are acknowledged, the violence and disruption they caused are increasingly scrutinized. This complex legacy is reflected in debates about statues, monuments, and historical narratives in the regions they influenced.

 Caelum /ˈsiːləm/ is a faint constellation in the southern sky, introduced in the 1750s by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille and counted among the 88 modern constellations. Its name means “chisel” in Latin, and it was formerly known as Caelum Sculptorium (“the engravers’ chisel”); It is a rare word, unrelated to the far more common Latin caelum, meaning “sky, heaven, atmosphere”

"Ha habido tres grandes inventos desde el comienzo de los tiempos: el fuego, la rueda y los bancos centrales."~~~Will Rogers

Epigrama al Cap.17 :La Política Monetaria del Banco Central del libro de PAUL A. SAMUELSON: Curso de Economía Moderna

 

 

“THERE have been three great inventions since the beginning of time: fire, the wheel and central banking,” quipped Will Rogers, an American humorist. Yet central banking as we know it today is an invention of the 20th century. The first recorded reference in English to a “central bank” was in 1873 by Walter Bagehot, then editor of The Economist, who used it to refer to a bank with a monopoly on the issue of bank notes, and its headquarters in a nation's capital. But it is only in the past 50 years or so that the term has become widely used. At the start of this century the world had only 18 central banks; today there are 173.

Central banks' original task was not to conduct monetary policy or support the banking system, but to finance government spending. The world's oldest central bank, the Bank of Sweden, was established in 1668 largely as a vehicle to finance military spending. The Bank of England was created in 1694 to fund a war with France. Even as recently as the late 1940s, a Labour chancellor of the exchequer, Stafford Cripps, took great pleasure in describing the Bank of England as “his bank”. Today most central banks are banned from financing government deficits.
