Conquistadors
For God, Glory and Gold, was their rallying cry, but the conquest of much of the New World by Spanish conquistadors, driven by a mentality reminiscent of the medieval crusaders, was surely one of history's turning points, but even in the 16th century, questions were asked about the morality of their exploits.

Did Bartolomeu Dias grow up with his father and brothers?
That information may be available in an archive in Portugal. It isn't available as information passed down through generations of a family. For the direct line from Bartolomeu Dias [c. 1450-May 29, 1500] went extinct with the navigator's great grandchildren, Dona Paula de Novais and Dona Violante de Castro, neither of whom married or had children. Neither can any indication of trouble be found in what's known of the navigator's life. For Portuguese historians describe Dias as the descendant of a seafaring line. And Pero Dias is identified as Bartolomeu's brother, and commander of the supply ship for Bartolomeu's expedition of 1487-1488 around the Cape of Good Hope, off the coast of modern South Africa. Diogo Dias aka Diogo Gomes [c. 1420-c.1485] is identified as another brother, who participated in the discovery of the Cape Verde Islands. But Diogo was about 30 years older than Bartolomeu. So he may have been the navigator's father, or a relative other than in the direct, nuclear family. So the information would indicate that Bartolomeu Dias got along well enough with his family to be able to follow the same line of work, and have them in close quarters, as in the case of Pero holding down the critical role of supply ship commander.
The 1540 Francisco Coronado expedition reported the first European sighting of what?
Ans: The Grand Canyon. The first Europeans to reach the Grand Canyon section of the Colorado Plateau were Spaniards under Garcia Lopez de Cardenas, part of Francisco Vazquez de Coronado's quest for the "Seven Cities of Cibola." Cardenas reached the Hopi towns of Arizona, and then the Grand Canyon, in 1540. The next recorded visit there was on 26 June 1776 by Francisco Garces, a missionary.

What did Ponce de Leon call Florida?
La Florista in the name of Spain. Great tour you can take on it in St. Augustine, Florida which has the whole story on it. Also the first city in Northern America.
Mutinies are relatively simple to explain. Bear with me as i do so... Onboard a ship, the commanding officer (always called "Captain" regardless of actual rank) has the sole responsibility for the ship and its crew. When a ship is sailing the high seas, especially in the old sailing days before the advent of communication at sea, the Captain runs the whole show. Sometimes the Captain can make harsh or unpopular decisions, but being the Captain, he cannot be overruled. Mutinies were much more prevalent during the early sailing age when the Captain owed much of his success to the crew and the crew knew this. He would often try to be as popular a Captain as possible to keep his crew happy. In the event that the Captain was very upopular, or through some agenda of one of the other senior officers, the crew would mutiny and either kill or imprison the captain. Unfortunately, this could end up in a death sentence for the crew because mutinies were forbidden and if that ship ever returned to home port, the crew could be summarily executed. Thus, when mutinies occurred, the ship and crew usually sought to harbor elsewhere or becaome pirates. I hope this answers the question effectively.
Who was the first spanish explorer to reach Florida?
Christopher Columbus of Italy, though he is not Spanish
No. The Inca Empire spanned present-day Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
