Question

In your own words, compare and contrast the French and the Spanish who came to the New World. Identify one way in which they were similar and one way in which they were different. Try to be specific in your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

If I compare the French and Spanish who came to this new world, I would say they were aggressive on taking the new land known as America. When the French came down they had no mercy whatsoever on the villagers and well being on the people who lived there. They killed people and claimed parts of North America such as Canada, Virgin Islands, or Haiti. When the Spanish came down they came down towards the south and as we all know him Ponce de Leon was one who found Florid to find the fountain of youth. Now the French and Spanish are different in a way where the Spanish was more calm and taking the land but the French was crazy about saying mine mine mine. If the Spanish went crazy mode it would have been when they conquered Mexico and Central America then wiped the Aztec, Incan, and Mayan race out sadly.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Spanish and French explorers both came to the New World in search of wealth. They also came to claim land for their countries and establish colonies in the New World. However, the Spanish forcefully took land and wealth by warring against the Native American tribes who resisted them. On the other hand, the French did not use force and violence. They traded with the Native American tribes, hunted the wildlife, and tried to find a northwest route to Asia.
