What happened when Spanish explorers came to the Americas?
Spanish explorers—called conquistadors—hoped to find riches in the Americas. And some of them did. • One conquistador met an emperor who had a garden made of gold. • Another conquistador found a huge city that was bigger than any city in Spain. • A third conquistador did not find gold or big cities. But he did find the Grand Canyon and the Great Plains. The conquistadors were ready to fight for the things they had found. In this book, you’ll find out what happened to the conquistadors, and to the people they met in the Americas.
