The encomienda system was created by the Spanish government as a way to better control the conquistadors in the New World. Under this system, the government granted conquistadors the right to control and tax the indigenous population in a given area in exchange for their loyalty and obligation to Christianize them. This allowed the Spanish government to maintain control and exert its influence over the New World while minimizing direct involvement.
