Answer 1

Answer:

I´ll proceed to explain it in the next paragraph

Explanation:

Henry Hudson was a British navigator and explorer, respected and followed by many, however, he committed a series of errors that led to the ¨Discovery¨ ship mutiny and his presumed death.

One of the first mistakes was that he believed he was navigating in the Pacific ocean, based on this, he started to navigate to the south where the vessel went imprisoned by ice, around three months passed in this difficult situation.

Besides this, he was really stubborn in the fact to keep navigating the area, and then proceed to India, the majority of the crew were not too happy or interested in this due the previous inconvenience (without saying that after the ship got stuck around three months, the Winter in the zone was being really aggressive) and instead, they were leading towards to Great Britain.

These misunderstandings led to the ¨Discovery¨ (name of the ship) mutiny, and then he was left by his luck in the Hudson bay, where it´s practically a fact that he died due to the lack of provisions, and difficult weather.

Answer 2

He refused to turn back despite all of the soldiers wanting to go to England.
