The expedition of 250 to 300 men was led by Panfilo de Narvaez. After surviving a hurricane near Cuba, the expedition landed on the west coast of Florida (near Tampa Bay) in April 1528, claiming the land for Spain.
A series of hurricanes and fights with Native Americans killed many of the crew, and the pilot of the ship sailed to Mexico without the 250 to 300 men. The stranded men hastily made 5 make-shift rafts on which they sailed west, hoping to reach a Spanish settlement in Mexico. Three rafts sank, but the two surviving rafts (carrying 80 men) landed at Galveston Island (off what is now Texas). Narvaez did not survive.

After a very cold winter with very little food, only 15 men survived. In spring, the men traveled west by land, walking along the Colorado River. By 1533, there were only four survivors, including Estevanico, Carranza, Cabeza de Vaca, and Alonso Castillo Maldonado. The men were enslaved for a while by some Indian tribes along the way, and were helped by other tribes. They were the first non-natives to travel in this area of the southwestern North America. Da vaca and his fellow travelers were the first Europeans to see the bison, or American buffalo.

The four men finally reached the Spanish settlement of Culiacan in early 1536 (8 years after being stranded in Florida). Later that year they reached Mexico City, where they were welcomed by the Viceroy Antonio de Mendoza.

After serving as a Mexican territorial governor, Cabeza de Vaca returned to Spain (in 1537) and published an account of his travels, noting the appalling treatment of Indians by the Spanish. His writing encouraged many other Spanish expeditions to the Americas, including those of Hernando de Soto and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado.

In 1540, Cabeza de Vaca was appointed governor of the Spanish settlement on the Rio de la Plata (now called Paraguay). He explored along the Paraguay River (in 1542, he was the first European to see Iguacu Falls). The settlers threw him out of office in 1545, and he was put on trial - he was charged with many offenses, including usurping the authority of the King of Spain. He was found guilty and died soon after.

1) What was Polands military like? 2) Which other country invaded Poland? why? And 3) After Poland surrendered, what did Germans
Mrrafil [7]
3) after Poland surrendered, what the Germans did to the Jewish was they would take them and put them in carts. The carts would go to different camps that where they would start by lining up in lines and the Germans would seperate the men and the woman and kids. The men would go one way and then woman would normally go to the gas chambers where they were killed. Some of the woman we able to go with the men. But the Jewish were treated very poorly. They wouldn’t get fed and they would sleep in these horrible conditions and would be put to work everyday. If you got too sick or weren’t able to work anymore they would go into the he gas chambers or they would be burned. Everyday there were carts going through the camps and that would pick up some of the Jews and bring them to Auschwitz. Where literally everyone that was there were burned or gassed. No one knew that the Jews were being treated like this, only them and the German Army. Sometimes not even the Germans army’s families knew that they were doing that.

Answer:

It encourages Gilgamesh to fight and adds  excitement for the audience.

Explanation:

From this excerpt, Lord Shamash instructs Gilgamesh to attack Humbaba now that he is weakened before he enters the forest and wraps himself in his seven auras which have a paralyzing glare. He lets Gilgamesh know that Humbaba has just one aura on him and as a result, he is vulnerable and can be defeated.

The effect that Lord Shamash's intervention has on the epic is that It encourages Gilgamesh to fight and adds  excitement for the audience.
