Who were the first europeans to reach America?
vikingsRelics found recently indicate that the Nordic explorers reached the Americas long before Columbus
When did Spanish explorers first arrived in the Americas?
The first Spanish explorer reached the Americas in 1492. The first European in the "New World" after the Norse explorations of the 11th century was Christopher Columbus, who landed on an island in the Bahamas. It's not known exactly which one but is thought to be San Salvador Island, Samana Cay, or Plana Cays. He made four voyages from Spain to the Americas, exploring present-day Cuba, Hispaniola, the Lesser Antilles, the Leeward Islands, Puero Rico, Trindad, Honduras, the mouth of a river in Venezuela, and Jamaica.
What regions did spanish explorers travel?
Spanish explorers traveled extensively throughout the Western Hemisphere. The conquistadores traveled as far north as the western portion of the present-day United States to the southernmost regions of the present-day countries of Chile and Argentina. The Spanish also sailed through the Pacific and reached the Philippines.
Describe the middle passage where almost one billion people died before they ever reached the Americas?
The Middle Passage was the section of the trade routes from the fifteenth through eighteenth centuries in which African peoples were transported across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. While many of the Africans died, the numbers are estimated at close to 2 million rather than one billion.
What was the main goal of the earliest explorers who reached the Americas?
to find a faster sea root to Asia, were they got tere spices and alot of gold but they also wanted t avoid getting atttacked by pirates so tehy didnt explore much, also they had many myths of sea monsters and that if you went to far away from home you would fall off the earth because it was flat which is not true. so that kept them from exploring until Columbus decided to try to go the opposite way to reach Asia by going around the world but instead he hit the carribean islands and no one knew he had discovered a "new world" until Amerigo Vespucci made a map of the coasts of the new world.
