Answer 1

Francisco Vazquez de Coronado began his expedition in 1540 because he was searching for new land and treasures. He heard stories about a place called "Cibola," which was said to be full of gold and riches. Coronado wanted to explore the Southwest part of what is now the United States, looking for these legendary cities and hoping to claim them for Spain. His journey turned out to be a big adventure, even though he didn’t find the gold he was hoping for!
