What would an India colonized by Spain, or acquired by Spain from Portugal, be like?
Would Spanish administrators lump the Indians into one or two castes and create a few more with imported settlers and slaves from Europe and Africa? Or would they just build on top of the existing regional caste systems?
Would India be converted by the Franciscans, Dominicans, et al.? Or would Spain have to take a more tolerant view because of a larger population to deal with?
What would the Indians be called?
Would there be any success at spreading the Spanish language?
