Explorers+and+Conquistadors

The explorers and conquistadors are credited with discovering the New World. Although some accounts show Viking and Chinese ships reaching the Americas in previous centuries, the European explorers stayed in the New World for a longer period of time. Their presence in the New World had both good and bad effects on the future of the New World.
