Vasco Núñez de Balboa encouraged settlement of Panama.
Vasco Nunez de Balboa, a Spanish explorer, is primarily known for being the first European to reach the Pacific Ocean from the New World. However, his legacy is also marked by several failures, including his involvement in the murder of the indigenous chief Careta, which strained relations with the native population. Balboa's governance of the settlement of Darien was marked by corruption and mismanagement, leading to economic difficulties and internal strife. Additionally, his ambitious plans to establish a trade route between the oceans ultimately failed due to logistical challenges and lack of support from the Spanish crown.
