Cause: 1. Christopher Columbus
lands in the Bahamas in October of 1492
2. Spain leads more expeditions to the New
World searching for land and gold
3. Spain begins to colonize Central and South
America
Effects: 1. Encounters Native Americans
2. Finds gold and resources 3. Unknowingly brings diseases 4. Begins the Columbian Trade
1. Pizarro and Cortez pillage the Inca and Aztec Empires for their silver and gold 2. Disease and warfare begin to diminish
the numbers of Native Americans 3. Other Spanish explorers begin exploring
North America

farming weapons 2. Spain’s northern neighbor, England,
begins to send expeditions to settle North America
