Europe meets America
Christopher Columbus was not the first to cross the Atlantic to reach America. When he accidentally landed in 1492, the discovery made explorers sail to search for gold. This changed the land forever. Many explorers invaded the the land with greed and treated the natives cruelly. Some believed a legend about a city of gold in El,Dorado. Others believed there was a magical fountain of youth. The Spanish eventually claimed most of the southwestern U.S.A . Over time, Native Americans all over were being pushed off their continent by Europeans.
