Conquistador is the Spanish term to refers to conquerors. Conquerors are those people who go to other lands in search of wealth, land and power. They also aimed to spread and convert native people to Catholicism - since the majority of Spaniards, including royalty were Catholics.

On the other hand, explorers are those who seek knowledge. They go into unknown territory, documenting what they find and seeking to explain its significance.

In your opinion was the Treaty of Versailles fair – why/why not?<br> Pls answer it, thanks!

Airida [17]

In my opinion, it wasn’t fair. It blamed the entire war only on Germany, which caused them to have a severe economic depression and crumbled their entire nation. This is one of the reasons why Germany started WW2. Germany also wasn’t the only nation that completely started WW1, it started when a Serbian terrorist group assassinated the Archduke of Austria- Hungary.
