Spaniards to America 
- Christopher Columbus, at the behest of the Spanish king, was looking for a western route.

 In 1492 he arrived in America, but he thought he had arrived in the Indies.

He calls the indigenous (= population from the area) Indians (= original inhabitants of America).

Slide 7 - Diapositive

After Columbus, Spain sent more explorers to the coastal regions of the Americas, such as Amerigo Vespucci.


Vespucci determined that Columbus had discovered a continent unknown in the Old World (Europe, Asia, and Africa). He called it the New World (America). In 1507 the continent was given the name America.

Conquerers
After the Spanish explorers, the Spanish conquerors came to the New World.


They were looking for wealth, prestige and power. In a short time and with great violence, the Spaniards conquered most of Central and South America.

The Incas and Aztecs had much larger armies, but they could not beat the European conquerors.

-died of European diseases.
