Question

Who where the cronistas of the New World, and how did they influence it?

Answer 1

A cronista is a chronicler. A person who gathers historical facts.
Since it's a Spanish word, it's referring to Spanish historians. It would stand to reason that they had a bias towards the Spanish version of events and not the Indian version.
