Extractions: In the summer of 1519, Alonso Alvarez de Piñeda, sailing for Francisco de Garay, Governor of Jamaica, took a fleet of four ships east to west around the Gulf Coast. Limits to the New World, limits to exploration, were already realized, and Spanish conquistadors and governors scrambled for claims amid a cloud of royal documents of permission and military moves. the land in the way might be valuable. One could hope for silver and gold as Mexico had provided, and the land might be good for successful cattle raising such as Garay had done.

Extractions: Acknowledgements and References This Site describes the 15 year Conquest of Native America. Cabeza de Vaca's eight years in North America, starting in 1528, set the stage for Coronado and Hernando de Soto to lead armies deep into America in the 1540's: Coronado from Mexico City and DeSoto from Cuba, Spain's "Ellis Island." Vaca was the first European to describe this continent , but only near its southern shoreline. DeSoto, at age 39, was rich from Incan gold and wanted to colonize North America. To do so, he planned to open a passage to trade Spain's New World fortunes with China , the largest supermarket in the world. Intelligent Indians had told Vaca of a northern sea that DeSoto believed was the Pacific Ocean, the sea Balboa discovered beyond Panama, DeSoto's boyhood home. Magellan had sailed that sea to the Orient when DeSoto was 21 years old, but lost his life on that long voyage. DeSoto wanted to build a port on America's Northern Sea , then sail what he believed was a short distance across it to China. He planned to protect his "Northern Passage to China" from Mobile Bay, Alabama, which

The conquest of Peru, the last and richest of the great colonial prizes which fell to Spain during the reign of Charles V, was not an unmixed blessing. No community has ever been ethically advantaged by participation in a gold rush. The Spaniards of the sixteenth century, who caught the gold and silver fever before philanthropic ideals had been properly organized and brought to bear upon the problems of industry, were no exception to this rule. They quarrelled among themselves and submitted the miserable and helpless natives of the country to a most grinding oppression. Money was mistaken for wealth and the true foundations of economic prosperity were ignored. Demoralized themselves, the treasure-hunters of Peru spread the taint of their merciless avarice through the body politic of Spain.

Extractions: The resurgence of trade following the Middle Ages in Europe resulted in a demand for goods from Asia. Trade routes were established across the Mediterranean and through the Middle East to handle this need. But, when the expansion of the Ottoman Empire caused disruption along these routes, Europeans were forced to seek alternative ways of importing these goods. This led to the exploration of water routes to Asia, and eventually the discovery of the Americas by the Europeans. Reconquista

Extractions: Exploration By the fifteenth century the increasing threat from the Ottomans to stop or at least control the Asian trade routes forced the European to seek alternative solutions. As European demand for spices and silk far outpaced supplies, Europeans needed to bypass the Muslims and the Venetian middlemen to meet their demands. The Atlantic coast states of Spain and Portugal led the way, but these two nations were soon caught and surpassed by the Dutch, English, and French. Several reasons for the increase in exploration have been suggested, the traditional gold, God, and glory has lost little attraction over the centuries. The European nations embarked on a program of exploration to gain profit, either through the acquisition of gold and silver, or the shipment and sale of exotic spices and silks. There can be little doubt that the number one reason and the overriding cause of exploration was material profit. These goods, especially precious metals, came from the New World and would enable Spain to fund her European crusades in the name of the Catholic Church. Other Reasons The Catholic countries of Spain and Portugal also espoused religious reasons for their explorations.

Extractions: Captain Juan Bautista de Anza (1736-1788) was a Mexican-born trailblazer and explorer. He was the first person of European descent to establish an overland trail from Mexico to the northern Pacific coast of California (then called New Albion). He found a corridor through the desolate Sonoran Desert. His expeditions brought hundreds of settlers to California. He founded the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Jose. De Anza was the commander of the presidio at Tubac. CABEZA DE VACA, ALVAR NUNEZ Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca [Cabeza de Vaca means "head of a cow"] (1490?-1557?) was a Spanish explorer who sailed to North America from Spain, leaving in 1527. He traveled from Florida to Texas on a raft, then walked from Texas to Mexico City. He also explored the Paraguay River in South America. De Vaca and his fellow travelers were the first Europeans to see the bison, or American buffalo

Extractions: -3-Develop an opinion/viewpoint on how European endeavors in the New World should be portrayed to the public via historical accounts. While native tribes built empires in the Western Hemisphere of the world, Europeans were busy building empires of their own. Monarchies were the royal standard of government structure and developed a keen taste for valuables from afar. Since the days of legendary explorers like Marco Polo, Europeans desired foreign spices, silk, porcelain, food stuffs, and gold. Foreign imports became a lucrative business and made many Europeans rich. Since overland travel was plagued by thieves, rival armies, and slow movement, a quick dependable water route to the East Indies became priority number one for competing European countries. One of the contenders for this illusive prize was the country of Spain. Columbus, however, made a great error. Using the knowledge of the world passed on from Greek and Arabic texts, Columbus miscalculated the circumference of the globe by twenty-five percent. In addition, he was unaware of the huge land mass wedged between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The journey proved to be quite arduous as Columbus' men began to lose faith in him and his dream. The threat of mutiny kept everyone on edge as a fear of becoming lost at sea plagued the minds of his fearful sailors.
