Answer 1

The Spanish sent an expedition to California to establish a chain of settlements called Missions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Spanish sent an expedition to California to establish a chain of settlements called Missions.

The Spanish established the first European settlements in the Americas, and they had outposts in what are now California. The forms of settlement characteristic of those areas were similar to the Spanish colonies of Central America.

In California, the Spanish crown made about 30 land grants available, creating a network of plantation-style ranchos. The Spanish also dreamed of converting Native Americans to Catholicism and bringing wealth to Spain.
