Answer 2

The Spanish had a significant impact on Texas history through their exploration and colonization efforts. They established the first European presence in Texas with the expeditions of Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca and Francisco Vázquez de Coronado. They also founded missions and presidios to expand their control and convert indigenous peoples to Christianity. The Spanish influence on Texas can still be seen today in the state's architecture, culture, and place names.
