The four notable Spanish explorers associated with the discovery and exploration of America are Christopher Columbus, Hernán Cortés, Francisco Pizarro, and Juan Ponce de León. Columbus is credited with the 1492 voyage that led to the European awareness of the Americas. Cortés is known for his conquest of the Aztec Empire, while Pizarro is recognized for conquering the Inca Empire. Ponce de León is famous for his exploration of Florida in search of the Fountain of Youth.
Hernán Cortés, the Spanish conquistador known for leading the expedition that resulted in the fall of the Aztec Empire, had a significant impact on the future United States primarily through the establishment of Spanish colonial influence in North America. His conquests paved the way for further Spanish exploration and settlement, particularly in regions that would become part of the southwestern U.S. Additionally, Cortés' actions contributed to the broader patterns of European colonization, cultural exchange, and the profound demographic changes due to disease and warfare, which reshaped the indigenous populations and their societies. Ultimately, his legacy is intertwined with the complex history of colonization that would later influence the formation of the United States.

Francisco Pizarro followed a route map that took him from Panama to Peru during his conquests in South America. He traveled along the coast, establishing alliances with local tribes and eventually capturing the Inca Empire's capital city of Cusco. Pizarro's conquests played a significant role in the Spanish colonization of South America.
