The Spanish Empire of Charles V (1522-1558) is a monumental study on the history of the Spanish Empire, written by Hugh Thomas. This volume covers from the return of the remains of Magellan's expedition in 1522 to the death of Charles V in 1558. In these years, the Spanish conquered Guatemala, Yucatan, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and Chile, controlling both sides of the Río de la Plata. Thomas transports the reader to the time of the conquistadors, exploring the debate on the treatment of indigenous peoples and the role of Spain in the new lands.
Hugh Swynnerton Thomas, Baron Thomas of Swynnerton, was an English historian and writer known best for his book The Spanish Civil War.
