Hernando de Soto was a Spanish explorer who participated in the conquest of Central America and Peru, and later led an expedition to explore and colonize southeastern North America. Major events in his life include joining Francisco Pizarro's expedition to Peru, participating in the conquest of the Inca Empire, and exploring present-day Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. De Soto died on his expedition in 1542, with his men ultimately failing in their quest to establish a colony.
