They explored lands they were unfamiliar with and they usually explored counties that they had no previous knowledge of. They often underprepared for they're trip, or they met with native tribes who felt the explorers were a threat.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A lot of Spanish conquistadors died during their journey of exploration mainly because of these two reasons

Firstly they tried to conquer unfamiliar territories and Still did not plan adequately before attacking they believed so much in their strenghts.

Secondly the Spanish conquistadors regularly fought among themselves and with the inhabitants of the islands which they conquered. They were greedy and complained that there was not enough gold to make them all rich.
