The expedition of <u>Hernando de Soto</u> to the current states of the Southeast, which pursued the same objectives as <u>Juan Ponce de León</u>, <u>Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón</u> and <u>Pánfilo de Narváez</u>, was an effort of conquest that with more than 600 men wandered throughout the Southeast of the United States in search of gold, silver and a passage to China <u><em>from May 1539</em></u>, when they disembarked in the area of the <em><u>present Tampa Bay</u></em>. <u>De Soto</u> died <em><u>in 1542</u></em> on the banks of the <em><u>Mississippi River</u></em>. <u>The Spanish soldiers brought death and diseases for the natives.</u> When the expedition encountered hostile groups, their men often provoked <em><u>confrontations</u></em>. Equally devastating were the diseases that the members of the expedition transmitted. Because they lacked immunity, indigenous peoples suffered epidemics after contracting <em><u>infectious diseases, such as smallpox, chicken pox and measles</u></em>. Some areas visited by the expedition were depopulated by diseases caused by contact with <u>Spanish soldiers</u>.
