I'm just looking for bushels of gold and a mere 1.5 million would keep me happy


You can say that again, Sal

The Spanish were able to concentrate the then existing instruments of European power against the Aztecs and Incas because they were centralized political systems susceptible to decapitation. The Spanish could not bring all of the then existing instruments of Western power against the First Peoples of Florida because they were not centralized in the same way as the Aztecs, Incas, and Mound Builders.

It would take Andrew Jackson, who defeated the British at the Battle of New Orleans, to subjugate the Seminoles and other indigenous peoples of Florida. Andrew Jackson was able to bring the by then much superior instruments of western power to bear against the Indians.

Good point...
The Inca in particular were 'rather poorly informed' of how Cortes conquored Mexico.. In Western Europe, word of Columbus's discoveries spread like wildfire.

The Spanish also appear to have been rather poor prospectors. They missed the massive gold & silver deposits of Arizona & California..

He found cities of gold? lmao

You can't be serious. Finding some gold in cities was NOT what De Soto was looking for.

Check your history... thoroughly.


some folksmove the goalposts , Smack. You grab them in your muzzle & dash around like an exicited Labrador pup in training...

Coronado moved North AFTER THE TIGUEX WAR - 1542.
I remain - as they say- amazed......................
Francisco Vásquez de Coronado - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You remain... as they say... wrong!

It's all there in your link. You should read it.

P.S. Moving goal posts will not save you in here.

What if De Soto found cities of gold?

Please start from the beginning Hunboldt.

You seem to get confused as the threads wear on so it would be best if you review from time to time.

DeSoto was long dead by the tiem Coronado set out for Cibola.

From your link....

Coronado set out from Compostela on February 23, 1540, at the head of a large expedition composed of about 400 European men-at-arms (mostly Spaniards), 1,300 to 2,000 Mexican Indian allies, four Franciscan monks (the most notable of whom were Juan de Padilla and the newly appointed provincial superior of the Franciscan order in the New World, Marcos de Niza), and several slaves, both natives and Africans.[5]


Now then... you are aware that 1542 (the year De Soto died) came after 1540... aren't you?

Coronado moved North AFTER THE TIGUEX WAR - 1542.

The Tiguex War was the first named war between Europeans and Native Americans in what is now the United States. It was fought in the winter of 1540-41 by the expedition of Francisco Vázquez de Coronado against the twelve or thirteen pueblos of Tiwa Indians as well as other Puebloan tribes along both sides of the Rio Grande, north and south of present-day Bernalillo, New Mexico, in what was called the Tiguex Province.

Tiguex War 1540-1541... Consider yourself about as wrong as you can be.

Salvation via the Lord Smack????:p



March 1541 is the EARLIEST that coronado sets out for Cibola. Before that he is fightign the Tiguex in the lower Grande Valley.

Not according to the link you provided... and not according to history.

Again... from your link...

Coronado set out from Compostela on February 23, 1540, at the head of a large expedition composed of about 400 European men-at-arms (mostly Spaniards), 1,300 to 2,000 Mexican Indian allies, four Franciscan monks (the most notable of whom were Juan de Padilla and the newly appointed provincial superior of the Franciscan order in the New World, Marcos de Niza), and several slaves, both natives and Africans.

Ouch! That must hurt! lol

DeSoto was long dead by the tiem Coronado set out for Cibola.
.

Even with those facts... De Soto dies in 1542 and look what you posted earlier.

You lose Hunboldt... now you are just making yourself a bigger fool in here by defending what is indefensible.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Francisco Vasquez de Coronado

April 23, 1541, to be exact. Rather away from the Inca , but- oh, well...

And this means what?

So you are not sticking with the other link you provided?

Coronado moved North AFTER THE TIGUEX WAR - 1542.
I remain - as they say- amazed......................
Francisco Vásquez de Coronado - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Still trying to move the goal post are you?

When did De Soto die again? 1542. Either way you're wrong.

DeSoto was long dead by the tiem Coronado set out for Cibola.
Go back to sleep . lil one. Trouble thyself no more.....

It means you know you have been schooled and you have nothing but this to offer.

The Thread topic was " What if the Inca had won' not 'wuzzhappenign on another continent....'

And this means you're talking to yourself.
