Disadvantages

1.They took a lot of wealth and gold (it was practically a looting, in many cases exchanged
baratias, mirrors, etc., for gold booties).
2.They raped and massacred children, men and women.
3.There was also a violation of human rights, trafficking in persons and slavery
4. De facto slavery lasted for several centuries and, subsequently, was subjected to foreign
powers
They killed a lot of indigenous people. It was a decimation, and the population was greatly
reduced (some claim that the deaths exceeded those left by the first and second world wars)

Advantage
1.A cultural exchange without antecedents was carried out in both continents
2.They brought new food
3.They brought new cultural elements and linguistic contributions (a new language -which, at
the same time that implied extinction of native languages, turns out to be rather negative).
4.The color of our skin is thanks to that great mix (really miscegenation is not that it is a
great advantage).

conclusion
A new world was discovered that gave a new vision to the future of the planet. They
advanced the progress of America. And New technologies were present.The forms of
intellectualism and reason reached the culture
The commercial routes were strengthened and developed
