Great quantities of silver mined in Peru …
Years: 1540 - 1683
Great quantities of silver mined in Peru replace the now-exhausted Inca gold in trade during the subsequent one hundred and fifty years, supplemented eventually by sugar, cotton, wine, indigo, cinchona, vanilla, and cacao.
Foreign trade, except for traffic in enslaved Africans, is forbidden unless the goods pass through Spain.
Africans are brought to the colonies on contract (asiento) by Portuguese, English, Dutch, and French slavers, who are forbidden to trade in any other commodities.
Spanish efforts to retain their monopoly on the rich profits from trade with their colonies provides a challenge to the rising maritime nations of Europe.
Intermittent maritime warfare results in the Caribbean and later in the Pacific.
The first serious interference with trade comes from the English.
