| Sumario: | The objective of this article is to analyze the way in which the Indians and the Iberian conquerors opted for diplomacy in order to replace the cycle of war by "fire and blood" that had characterized the conquest in the frontiers of the provinces of Chocó and Antioquia. For several decades, Americanist historiography has been insisting that relations between the Spaniards and the natives were not always violent, but also peaceful. In contrast to the traditional image of two radically confronted sides, marked by the war of conquest, an alternative scenario is proposed, which does not deny the conflictive nature of both societies, but in which diplomatic relations were a viable alternative that was combined with peace pacts, military alliances, exchange of goods, founding of towns and liberation of captives. |
