22. The Spanish Come To The New World The Spanish Come to the New world. Vasco Nùñez de Balboa Balboa led an expeditionacross Panama looking for gold, but discovered the Pacific Ocean instead. http://www.mce.k12tn.net/explorers/spanishexplorers.htm

The Spanish Come to the New World Vasco Nùñez de Balboa Balboa led an expedition across Panama looking for gold, but discovered the Pacific Ocean instead. It took 24 days for his group of 190 Spaniards and 1000 natives to cross the 45 miles of jungle. On September 29, 1513 they reached the Pacific Ocean and claimed all the land that touched the Pacific Ocean for Spain. Back to Chart Hernando Cortez Cortez was a young Spaniard who went to Cuba to find his fortune. He heard stories of gold in Mexico and South America. In 1519 Cortez left Cuba to find this gold. With 300 Aztecs to every one of Cortez's men the Spanish fought. After 3 battles the Indians gave up. They could not complete against the guns and horses. The Spaniards also wore metal armor. More than this the Indians were afraid of the "god-like" warriors. On November 8, 1519 Cortez reached Mexico City and was received by Montezuma, the Aztec emperor. Cortez captured Montezuma and began to rule the empire through him. The Spaniards made the Aztecs work in the mines looking for gold and silver. This gold and silver was shipped back to Spain. Back to Chart Francisco Coronado Coronado commanded an expedition which left from western Mexico in 1540. He was searching for the Seven Golden Cities of Cibola. Coronado rode through northern Mexico and into what is now Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Coronado did not find any golden cities, but discovered the Pueblo Indians. Coronado was upset at not finding the cities of gold. He sent his men off in different directions with orders to find them. His men found the Grand Canyon instead. Coronado would not give up. He marched his army east. There he found the buffalo and grassy plains, but no cities of gold. Coronado claimed all the land over which he and his men had traveled in the name of Spain.

The French Come to the New World Giovanni da Verranzano In 1524 Verranzano explored the New World for France. He searched for a route to the Indies through the continent. Verranzano sailed up and down the East Coast of America looking for a passage that would take him further west. He could not find one so he returned to France. Back to Chart Jacques Cartier In 1534 Cartier tried to find a sea passage to the East Indies through North America. He could not find a river that would take ships west from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Instead he discovered the St. Lawrence River. The St. Lawrence River ended much sooner than Cartier expected. It ended on a high hill which Cartier named Mont Real or King's Mountain in honor of the King of France. Mont Real later became Montreal. Cartier named the area New France and claimed it in the name of the King of France. This discovery opened Canada for Europeans wanting to settle in North America. Cartier took colonists to Cape Rouge near Quebec. The colony was a failure. After this France lost interest in Canada. It would be more than 70 years before another Frenchman came to the mouth of the St. Lawrence River. Back to Chart Samuel de Champlain In 1608 Champlain brought a group of settlers to the area around Montreal. They built a fort and a settlement. Champlain sent out traders to buy furs from the Indians. Champlain made friends with the Hurons. He brought missionaries to live with the Indians. These missionaries built churches. Champlain explored the Great Lakes and discovered Lake Champlain. Champlain was the first to systematically investigate the eastern shores of Canada and the New England coast.

CUETZALAN, Mexico (CNN) British Royal Navy divers on Thursday led to safety all six explorers trapped in a warren of caves in eastern Mexico. Over several hours, the men swam out of the cave one at a time. They had been trapped in the flooded cave for a week. Each emerged in apparent good health and spirits, officials said. The men were to be taken to a nearby military hospital to be checked out. They are also to be interviewed by immigration officials because they entered on tourist visas and didn't notify the Mexican government about their expedition, officials said. A source with the British embassy said the entire expedition group is to fly back to London on Friday. Among the cavers were four members of the British navy.

38. Review: Ruin Explorers Plot Synopsis. In the world of Ruin explorers, ancient, treasure filledcatacombs abound. Two intrepid explorers, Fam and Irhie, travel http://animeworld.com/reviews/ruinexplorers.html

Ruin Explorers Plot Review Rating Parents ... Review Ruin Explorers looks like more good dumb fantasy fun, but that's not actually being fair to the series; it's really more like Slayers shifted one notch toward the non-silly end of the spectrum. Where slayers has really dumb jokes, then fairly serious plot at the end of each story arc, Ruin Explorers started light, then built to an end that was essentially straight fantasy, and a bit grim at that. Essentially, the first two episodes were a light comedy more in the vein of Oh My Goddess! and You're Under Arrest! than the really silly stuff in Slayers, or the sleazy stuff in Bastard!! (wow, look at all the exclamation points in those titles...), and the second half was more Record of Lodoss Wars than anything else. (Digression while I'm on the topic of other fantasy series: have you ever noticed that in just about every anime fantasy, the size of the shoulder plates on a character's armor is directly proportional to either their strength or their significance to the plotyou look; Linna Inverse, Irhie, that punk from Lodoss Wars, they all have really huge shoulder pads. Weak or minor characters, on the other hand, always have deficient shoulder platesheck, maybe that's why they're weak (ever noticed that the burly magic armor always has really huge shoulders? Hmm?). Ok, I'm done... sorry about that.) In a way, this story in this particular shoulder-fest was a lot more of a story than it could have been; the characters (despite their rather silly quirks) were relatively straight, and their quest was nothing to laugh at, nor did they try. By the end, in part due to some backstory that felt like more than just an afterthought or hollow reason for swordswinging, things had developed into a respectable, if not very original, fantasy quest. Actually, even on the count of originality it doesn't fare that badlythere was a twist or two (mostly at the very end) that wasn't as obvious as I was expecting.

Related Web sites Test your knowledge Click here to take a World Book quiz on explorers Christopher Columbus and the Great Age of Exploration Exploration is one of the oldest and most widespread of human activities. People have engaged in exploration since prehistoric times. Prehistoric human beings crossed vast areas of land and water and eventually populated all the continents except Antarctica. Later navigators started out from the islands of Southeast Asia and settled Hawaii, New Zealand, and other Pacific Islands. Library of Congress In ancient and medieval times, people from Europe, the Middle East, and Asia ranged far beyond their homelands to chart many areas new to them. Even so, as late as 1450, large parts of the world remained isolated from one another. The Great Age of European Exploration starting about that time. The Italian navigator Christopher Columbus made his first voyage to the American "New World" in 1492. Throughout the 1500's and 1600's, Europeans were the most active explorers in the world. They eventually explored the Americas, Siberia, the Pacific Islands, Australia, Africa, the Arctic, and Antarctica. By the early 1900's, most parts of the world had been explored and mapped.
