Best Answer

The Spanish implemented the encomienda system when they first arrived on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. After they realized that the number of products to exploit were not as plentiful as they hoped, they went to Central (and South) America, where they carried on the encomienda system on the conquered minorities who helped them retrieve silver.

How was mercantilism implemented in the colonies?

According to mercantilism, the colonies were required to engage in two general behaviors: (1) The colonies were locked into exclusive trade between the colonies and the metropole and were not allowed to trade with any other nation or colony. (2) No manufactures or complex goods could be made in the colonial territory. As a result the colonies would provide wealth to the metropole by trading their natural resources for less than they would be worth and by buying manufactures for much more money.
