INTRODUCTION OF POTOSI MINING HILL IN BOLIVIA
• The hill was largely untouched when Spanish conquistadors stumbled across it in 1544.Over the next three centuries, it yielded a river of riches - more than 62,000 metric tonnes. Much of the silver even ended up in China - used to pay for England's new addiction to tea. Later on, POTOSI became the center of slavery laboring.
