Explain ONE instance in which the Spanish resorted to the type of actions threatened in the third paragraph.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include the text or the third paragraph. Without that information, we do not know what you are referring to.

However, doing some deep research, we can comment on the following.

One instance in which the Spanish resorted to the type of actions threatened in the third paragraph was to punish the Native peoples who refused to obey the conquerors and refused to convert to Catholicism.

The Spanish have threatened the Indians expressing threats such as "...But, if you do not obey, we shall powerfully enter into your country, and shall make war against you and shall subject you to the yoke and obedience of the Church and the king and queen of Spain."

Spanish conquerors committed many atrocities when they tried to colonize many territories in the Americas. all in the name of God and the Catholic church.

This was part of a medieval document titled "The Demand." This document was issued by the council of Castile in 1510. When conquerors arrived in the Americas, they had to read the document to warn Native Indian people, before taking their territories.
