True or false first settlers in North America were from Spain Norse Europeans explored what is now Canada around 1,000 English explorer John Cabot sail to the same region around 1497 soon after French Dutch and English explorers probed The East Coast of North America looking for a Northwest passage a non-existent water route through North America to Asia the Spanish though were the first to settle in the region

Answer 1

False. While Norse explorers, such as Leif Erikson, did reach parts of what is now Canada around the year 1000, the statement about the first settlers in North America being from Spain is not accurate. The first permanent European settlement in North America was established by the Spanish in St. Augustine, Florida, in 1565, but prior to that, Norse settlements (though not permanent) occurred in areas like Newfoundland. Additionally, English explorer John Cabot did sail to the North American region in 1497, but the Spanish were not the first to explore or settle in the broader North American continent.
