The authors, Felipe Fernandez-Armesto and Manuel Lucena Giraldo, present a compelling argument that the success of the empire was largely due to the investment in infrastructure and the collaboration with local power brokers, rather than simply military conquest and oppression. Through the stories of engineers, prospectors, soldiers, and priests, they bring to life the vivid portrait of Spanish America during the age of conquest. The book begins by highlighting the smallness and poverty of sixteenth-century Spain, yet it was able to build the largest empire the world had ever seen. The authors attribute this achievement to the critical role of Spanish engineers, who played a vital part in the expansion of the empire. They argue that the Spanish invested heavily in infrastructure, which enhanced the abilities of incumbent elites to grow wealthy on trade and widened the arc of Spanish influence. This investment in infrastructure allowed for the growth of the empire and the expansion of Spanish influence across the globe. One of the key themes of the book is the need to study and understand the process of technological evolution as the basis for the survival of humanity and the unification of people in a warring state.
Авторы, Фелипе Фернандес-Арместо и Мануэль Лусена Хиральдо, представляют убедительный аргумент в пользу того, что успех империи был в значительной степени обусловлен инвестициями в инфраструктуру и сотрудничеством с местными брокерами власти, а не просто военными завоеваниями и угнетением. Рассказами инженеров, старателей, солдат и священников они воплощают в жизнь яркий портрет испанской Америки эпохи завоеваний. Книга начинается с освещения малости и бедности Испании XVI века, однако она смогла построить самую большую империю, которую когда-либо видел мир. Авторы объясняют это достижение критической ролью испанских инженеров, сыгравших важнейшую роль в расширении империи. Они утверждают, что испанцы вложили значительные средства в инфраструктуру, что усилило способности действующих элит богатеть на торговле и расширило дугу испанского влияния. Эти инвестиции в инфраструктуру позволили вырасти империи и расширить испанское влияние по всему миру. Одна из ключевых тем книги - необходимость изучения и понимания процесса технологической эволюции как основы выживания человечества и объединения людей в воюющем государстве.
s auteurs, Felipe Fernández-Armesto et Manuel Lucena Giraldo, avancent un argument convaincant selon lequel le succès de l'empire est dû en grande partie à l'investissement dans les infrastructures et à la coopération avec les courtiers locaux, et non pas seulement aux conquêtes militaires et à l'oppression. s histoires des ingénieurs, des prospecteurs, des soldats et des prêtres donnent vie à un portrait brillant de l'Amérique espagnole de l'ère des conquêtes. livre commence par mettre en lumière la petite et la pauvreté de l'Espagne du XVIe siècle, mais il a réussi à construire le plus grand empire que le monde ait jamais vu. s auteurs expliquent cette réalisation par le rôle critique des ingénieurs espagnols, qui ont joué un rôle essentiel dans l'expansion de l'empire. Ils affirment que les Espagnols ont beaucoup investi dans les infrastructures, ce qui a renforcé la capacité des élites actives à s'enrichir sur le commerce et a élargi l'arc de l'influence espagnole. Ces investissements dans les infrastructures ont permis la croissance de l'empire et l'expansion de l'influence espagnole dans le monde entier. L'un des thèmes clés du livre est la nécessité d'étudier et de comprendre le processus d'évolution technologique comme base de la survie de l'humanité et de l'unification des gens dans un État en guerre.
autores, Felipe Fernández-Armesto y Manuel Lucena Giraldo, presentan un argumento convincente a favor de que el éxito del imperio se debió en gran medida a inversiones en infraestructura y a la cooperación con los corredores locales de poder, y no sólo a conquistas y opresiones militares. Con relatos de ingenieros, mineros, soldados y sacerdotes dan vida a un vívido retrato de la América española de la época de las conquistas. libro comienza destacando la pequeñez y la pobreza de la España del siglo XVI, sin embargo fue capaz de construir el imperio más grande que el mundo haya visto jamás. autores atribuyen este logro al papel crítico de los ingenieros españoles, que jugaron un papel crucial en la expansión del imperio. Afirman que los españoles han invertido mucho en infraestructuras, lo que ha reforzado la capacidad de las élites operativas para enriquecerse en el comercio y ha ampliado el arco de influencia española. Estas inversiones en infraestructuras permitieron el crecimiento del imperio y la expansión de la influencia española en todo el mundo. Uno de los temas clave del libro es la necesidad de estudiar y entender el proceso de evolución tecnológica como base para la supervivencia de la humanidad y la unión de las personas en un Estado en guerra.
Die Autoren Felipe Fernández-Armesto und Manuel Lucena Giraldo liefern ein überzeugendes Argument dafür, dass der Erfolg des Imperiums zu einem großen Teil auf Investitionen in die Infrastruktur und die Zusammenarbeit mit lokalen Machtmaklern und nicht nur auf militärische Eroberungen und Unterdrückung zurückzuführen ist. Mit Geschichten von Ingenieuren, Bergleuten, Soldaten und Priestern erwecken sie das markante Porträt des spanischen Amerika der Eroberungszeit zum ben. Das Buch beginnt mit der Berichterstattung über die Kleinheit und Armut Spaniens im 16. Jahrhundert, aber es war in der Lage, das größte Imperium aufzubauen, das die Welt je gesehen hat. Die Autoren führen diese istung auf die kritische Rolle der spanischen Ingenieure zurück, die eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Expansion des Reiches spielten. e argumentieren, dass die Spanier stark in die Infrastruktur investiert haben, was die Fähigkeit der bestehenden Eliten, am Handel reich zu werden, gestärkt und den Bogen des spanischen Einflusses erweitert hat. Diese Investitionen in die Infrastruktur ermöglichten das Wachstum von Imperien und die Ausweitung des spanischen Einflusses auf der ganzen Welt. Eines der Hauptthemen des Buches ist die Notwendigkeit, den Prozess der technologischen Evolution als Grundlage für das Überleben der Menschheit und die Vereinigung der Menschen in einem kriegführenden Staat zu studieren und zu verstehen.

Yazarlar Felipe Fernández-Armesto ve Manuel Lucena Giraldo, imparatorluğun başarısının büyük ölçüde altyapı yatırımlarından ve sadece askeri fetih ve baskıdan ziyade yerel iktidar simsarlarıyla işbirliğinden kaynaklandığı konusunda ikna edici bir argüman sunuyorlar. Mühendisler, maden arayıcıları, askerler ve rahiplerin hikayeleriyle, fetih döneminin İspanyol Amerika'sının canlı bir portresini hayata geçiriyorlar. Kitap, 16. yüzyıl İspanya'sının küçüklüğünü ve yoksulluğunu vurgulayarak başlıyor, ancak dünyanın gördüğü en büyük imparatorluğu kurmayı başardı. Yazarlar bu başarıyı, imparatorluğun genişlemesinde çok önemli bir rol oynayan İspanyol mühendislerin kritik rolüne bağlıyor. İspanyolların altyapıya yoğun bir şekilde yatırım yaptıklarını, bunun da mevcut elitlerin ticarette zengin olma yeteneğini güçlendirdiğini ve İspanyol etkisinin yayını genişlettiğini savunuyorlar. Altyapıya yapılan bu yatırım, imparatorluğun dünyadaki İspanyol etkisini büyütmesine ve genişletmesine izin verdi. Kitabın ana temalarından biri, teknolojik evrim sürecini insanlığın hayatta kalması ve insanların savaşan bir durumda birleşmesi için temel olarak inceleme ve anlama ihtiyacıdır.
يقدم المؤلفان، فيليبي فرنانديز أرميستو ومانويل لوسينا جيرالدو، حجة مقنعة بأن نجاح الإمبراطورية كان إلى حد كبير بسبب الاستثمار في البنية التحتية والتعاون مع سماسرة السلطة المحليين، وليس مجرد الغزو العسكري والقمع. مع قصص المهندسين والمنقبين والجنود والكهنة، يعيدون إلى الحياة صورة حية لأمريكا الإسبانية عن حقبة الغزو. يبدأ الكتاب بتسليط الضوء على صغر وفقر إسبانيا في القرن السادس عشر، ومع ذلك فقد تمكن من بناء أكبر إمبراطورية شهدها العالم على الإطلاق. يعزو المؤلفون هذا الإنجاز إلى الدور الحاسم للمهندسين الإسبان، الذين لعبوا دورًا حاسمًا في توسيع الإمبراطورية. يجادلون بأن الإسبان استثمروا بكثافة في البنية التحتية، مما عزز قدرة النخب الحالية على النمو الغني بالتجارة ووسع قوس النفوذ الإسباني. سمح هذا الاستثمار في البنية التحتية للإمبراطورية بالنمو وتوسيع النفوذ الإسباني حول العالم. أحد الموضوعات الرئيسية للكتاب هو الحاجة إلى دراسة وفهم عملية التطور التكنولوجي كأساس لبقاء البشرية وتوحيد الناس في دولة متحاربة.
