Following Rivers of Gold & The Golden Age World Without End is the conclusion of a magisterial three-volume history of the Spanish Empire by Hugh Thomas its foremost worldwide authority World Without End is the climax of Hugh Thomas's great history of the Spanish Empire in the Americas It describes the conquest of Paraguay & the River Plate of the Yucatan in Mexico the only partial conquest of Chile & battles with the French over Florida & then in the 1580s the extraordinary projection of Spanish power across the Pacific to conquer the Philippines More significantly it describes how the Spanish ran the greatest empire the world had seen since Rome
- as well as conquistadores the book is people with viceroys judges nobles bishops inquisitors & administrators of many different kinds often in conflict with one another seeking to organise the native populations into towns to build cathedrals hospitals & universities Behind them
- sometimes ahead of them
- came the religious orders the Franciscans Dominicans Augustinians & finally the Jesuits builders of convents & monasteries many of them of astonishing beauty & reminders of the pervasiveness of religion & the self-confidence of the age Towering above them all though moving rarely from the palace of the Escorial outside Madrid is the figure of King Philip II the central figure in the book The Venetian ambassador thought him 'the arbiter of the world' Once the Philippines had been consolidated Philip's advisors contemplated an invasion of China the Jesuit Father Sanchez called it 'the greatest enterprise which has ever been proposed to any monarch in the world' It was an enterprise never undertaken but never explicitly abandoned Was it a great or a terrible empire? In contrast to other empire builders the Spaniards entered upon arguments with each other about their right to rule other peoples & their ruthlessness was often tempered by humanity Hugh Thomas's conclusion is unequivocal ' The speed with which the sixteenth-century conquistadores conquered such large territories on two vast continents & the comparable success of missionaries with large populations of Indians stands as one of the supreme epics of both valour & imagination by Europeans'
