Comparing the workmanship of Roman Ruggiero ' ' The Mechanisms of the Colonial' Conquest; ' with the workmanship of Galeano, as much is perceived that the Castilians as the lusitanos, had carried through at a first moment, a conquest for the weapons or swords, a time that its armaments were superior to the ones of the aboriginals. Although the number biggest of indians, the Europeans had left victorious people, for having better weapons and using tactics, cachorros and horses, that were seen as demons for the indians.

Already Galeano has the much more critical vision of a journalist, displays the facts of a gotten passionate form, is of Uruguayan origin, therefore ' ' proper heir of Pampas pobre' ' , according to its proper words ' ' history is a prophet with the directed look stops backwards: for what it was and against what was, announces what ser' '.
