" I never forget the history lesson of the Spanish conquest of the Americas that ushered in one of the greatest periods of hyper-inflation in the history of Western Civilization."

Hunh? Before the Spanish invasion, there was no history of the Americas. (I tweak your beard, sir! If you are a ma'am, I tweak your beard also, but enjoy it more.)

The goal of the Spanish conquest of the Americas was to take gold and silver to Europe. In that context, you'll have to describe "hyperinflation" in terms of new gold supply that even we people from other planets can understand.

Live long and prosper!
