1 answer:

4 0

St. Augustine is the oldest occupied city of the United States. It was found in 1565 by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés. The fort defended the trade route between Spain and its colonies. It would also defend the Spanish-claimed land against invasion.

In 1692 the Queen ordered to build a stronger fort, replacing a wood one with a shell stone one. It was used as a refugee for Loyalists to the Crown during the American revolution, served as a prison during the Indian wars, and was a battle site during the Civil War. And it still stands, so it's pretty much indisputable.

Answer:

Option: True

Explanation:

When the European (Spanish) reached the New World, they not only bring soldiers but diseases also. The Native Americans not being immune to European diseases like smallpox and measles, died which finished the entire native population along with their civilization.

Diseases were already spread in the Inca Empire before Francisco Pizarro defeated them. In 1528, due to contact with the European, the Inca Emperor Huayna Capac died from smallpox. It would be true to say that the diseases helped the Spanish conquistador and explorers to conquer the land in America.
