📅 27 Mart 1528 📍 Venezuela

The Spanish Crown approved a capitulation with Welser agents concerning the governance, conquest, and settlement of Venezuela. The agreement framed colonization as an armed commercial enterprise and treated Indigenous territories as objects of imperial control. This is a context-setting milestone in the colonial system from which coerced labor and African enslavement expanded; the document itself is not an emancipation or slave-trade law.
