- Title
Some Portuguese paradigms for the discovery and conquest of Spanish America.

Russell, P. E.
- Abstract
Despite the fact that Portuguese discovery and expansion in the Atlantic had been under the way for some sixty years before explorer Christopher Columbus' first voyage, for most Americanists the early modern history of America seems to begin without more than a glancing backward look, in 1492. According to the author, Americanists usually do not see any need to condictated, influenced or ran parallel to the early processes of discovery and conquest in the New World of America. Nationalistic prejudice on both sides of the old Tordesillas line has too, from the fifteenth century onwards befuddled objective discussion of the topic.
