How did Europeans continue their explorations beyond the Americas?
madreJ [45]

Answer:

The 1490's was a time of sailing, exploration, war, and trade. They competed for land, explored and invaded foreign lands, led conquests, and were victorious. This time was also full of powerful leaders, such as Hernando Cortés who led the expedition to mexico and Montezuma, who was the ruler of the Aztec Empire. The history of North America is very unique, it's a wide combination of European cultures and new American characteristics. North American's history began with the Vikings brief stint in 1000 A.D and continued through England's colonization  of the Atlantic in the 17th century. This history laid the foundation of the United States of America. As more Europeans arrived, the Americas moved westward across the continent. During the expeditions, Americans were enticed by the lure of riches and opened land, and the desire to fulfill the nation's destiny.
