1. Christopher Columbus: Was a skilled Italian seafarer who discovered an island in the Bahamas on October 12, 1492.
Appalachian Mountains formed about 350 million years ago.
Marco Polo: Was an Italian adventurer.

Francis Coronado: An explorer who searched for the fabled golden cities.
Hernan Cortes: An explorer who conquered the Aztecs.
Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo: Explored the California coast in 1542.
2. How many ships did Christopher Columbus use for his first voyage to the “New World?” : Three
What percentage of Native Americans perished? 90 percent
What started the Conquest of Mexico? It started when Hernan Cortes sailed to Cuba with sixteen fresh horses and several hundred men for invasion.
3. Quell: To kill, to suppress, or put an end to.
Motley: Exhibiting great diversity of elements.
4. The author uses a quote from Barthlolome de Las Casas about the destruction of the Indians. This quote was interesting because he expresses how much he thinks what was happening back then was so horrible that it would be hard to believe.
5. What depressed me the most was how willing people were back then to go into combat and kill the Native Americans or conquest them for the things they wanted like gold. What impressed me was the bravery and courage the people had back then to fight for their dreams. It gives me the insight that exploring was a big part of European culture back then.
