Balboa viewed other Spaniards as a threat to his mission of exploration, and if he felt that they were too threatening they would be murdered. While the Indians viewed him as God, therefore never tried to cross him or get in the was of his explorations.

Balboa is not know to be a humble person. He is very boastful and views himself as a god. Balboa's pride often prevented him from getting along with others (127-130). Unlike the spaniards, the indians viewed Balboa as a god and that is how he wants to be seen, that is why they form a relationship (140-142).

Balboa was more successful in managing his relationships with the Indians instead of the relationships he had with other powerful Spaniards because he used cruel and brutal ways in keeping the Indians in line. "They have seen his soldiers tear babies from their mother, toss them still screaming to feed the dogs" (Lines 142-143). However, "The Indians think of him as a god. They make no distinction between good and evil" (Lines 141-142). This is why their relationship worked. He made sure that no Indian would think to double-cross him. Balboa's relationship with the Spaniards didn't work because he did not trust them at all. He knew that they would try to take all the glory and ultimately kill him if they got the chance. Even when Balboa ascended the mountain he carried a musket and let no one come with him. "The Spaniards have been warned that if they follow, he will use it, because discovery is a tricky matter and he wants no competition (Lines 6-8). When he was climbing the mountain, Balboa wished that he had brought an Indian with him because they had been living there for quite some time. This proved that he had some respect for the Indians while he absolutely had none for the Spaniards.

Balboa was more successful managing his relationships with the Indians then the Spaniards because to the Indians he was the king of country, they didn't know any difference. But the Spaniards knew who he was and didn't like how he took the governors place. "Balboa had organized the rebellion, supplanted the governor-all of this done with great efficiency and intelligence."(lines78-80)

Balboa was able to maintain his relationships better with the indeans because they had lived in the land far longer than he and his men had been there and had already discovered the south sea and had nothing to gain. When Balboa realised this he had wished he would have brought one of the natives with him and had a very small respect for them once he got back which is why his relations were better with them than the powerful spainards who would soon have him killed for treason he did not commit.

Balboa is able to successfully manage his relationships with the Indians, but not other powerful Spaniards, because of his brutal tactics. He enforces his authority by unleashing his bloodthirsty dogs on the Natives, brutally massacring them. He would uncaring have "...his soldiers tear babies from their mothers, toss them still screaming to feed the dogs" (Lines 142-143).
Balboa's fellow Spaniards do not take kindly to his disgusting methods. A Spanish Monk denounced his dogs and "...and cursed him back in Darién" (Lines 153-154). Balboa believes himself above the judgement of his fellow people. As far as he was concerned though, what was happening to the Indians in the New World was equivalent to what Spaniards back in Spain were suffering. He notes that "It is not uncommon to see a peasant woman leave her screaming infant on the side of the road" (Lines 172-174). His own country would end up charging him with treason due to his disregard.

Susie Trischka- Balboa's self obsessive pride began to form a wall, separating his ideas with the people around him.  This wall prevented him from seeing things clearly while at the same time, it hindered the growth of possible successful relationships with the people around him. When looking at the relationship formed with Balboa and the Indians, there was no competition there.  The Indians viewed Balboa as a great, "Godly" leader.  To emphasize further, in line 141, it is stated that the Indians think of Balboa as a God: "...the Indians think of him as a God".  The Indians wouldn't dare attempt to "one up" Balboa. That's why their relationship worked.  On the contrary, the Spaniards were a different story.  When Balboa climbed up the mountain in the beginning of the story, he forced the Spaniards to stay below the tall structure so that he could be the one to find what was behind it first.  From lines 9-20, Balboa even brought his musket with him for precautions measure when climbing up the mountain.  He wanted to be the one to discover the "South Sea".  The competitive barrier formed between Balboa and the Spaniards, along with his prideful state of being caused their relationship to be more difficult to manage.

Balboa could manage a relationship better with the indians because they had nothing to discover. The indians had already seen all their land had to offer but the spaniards could claim they discovered something. Therefore Balboa's only other competitors were spaniards as they might try to claim the discovery if they beat Balboa to it.

Balboa's relationship managment with the indians was much better than that of the spaniards. The indians had nothing of value that he wanted. He wanted glory, to discover this land. In an arrogant move, Balboa brought a rifle with him to shoot anyone that tried to steal his glory of discovery(Line 10). Along with that, "The indians thought of him as a god"(Line141), and feared him as such. This proving true, he was able to control them much better than the spaniards. (Line 129-130) Enisco did not understand the indians as Balboa did. He disagreed with the weak ways of other powerful spaniards, and that finally led to his demise.

Balboa was more successful in his relationship with the indians than other Spaniards. Balboa was very selfish. This is evident by him carrying his musket up a mountian. This is to ensure that if any Spaniards come up to take the glory, Balboa will kill them (line 10). He also had the governor arrested for fear that he didn't know how to deal with indians (line 129). Balboa wanted to be respected with by the Spaniards. His relationship with the Indians was violent. He would have his dog slaughter any indians that fought him (line 143). Balboa was successful in making the indians fear him, however, he was unsuccessful in making the Spaniards respect him, as they ultimately killed him for being such a selfish man (line 216).
