Answer 1

I’m not positive about the first one but I believe he noticed their culture and lack of weaponry. He also noticed that they were friendly and generous. I’m assuming this is important because it meant he could kidnap them. Columbus had the goal of conquering the tribe during his second voyage. The second voyage brought European livestock and settlers to America. During his final voyage, he governed the island of Hispaniola. Columbus had thousands of Arawaks (the people of the tribe that lived there) kidnapped and being forced to find gold. Columbus was a successful explorer because as a result of his voyages, there was a massive exchange of cultures, ideas, animals and diseases. I’m not sure about number four. Columbus was brutal and oppressive towards the native people. He kidnapped many of them and killed them for standing up to the Spanish or not finding enough gold. Columbus was arrested due to treating the natives harshly and along with being arrested he lost his title as governor. Magellan possibly made it as far as Moluccas. Five ships and 270 men sailed to West Africa, then Brazil. They then searched the South American coast and went towards the Pacific. Only three ships made it, one was wrecked and one was deserted. On April 27, 1521 Magellan was killed by a poison arrow on the island of Mactan. I am also unsure of number ten. I really hope this helped, sorry I didn’t know all of it.
