"briefly describe one specific event that illustrates an attempt to "civilize" the indians on the part of the spanish."

When the first Spanish settlers arrived to America one of their impressions was that its inhabitants were savages and needed to be civilized according to the European way of life.

i think the answer is c, rivers.

explanation:

sometimes, borders fall along natural boundaries like rivers or mountain ranges. for example, the boundary between france and spain follows the crest of the pyrenees mountains. for part of its length, the boundary between the united states and mexico follows a river called the rio grande. the borders of four countries divide africa’s lake chad: niger, chad, cameroon, and nigeria.
