5:The Spanish explorers started the settlement on the island of Hispaniola.

Answer 1

The Spanish exploration in the Americas did not lead to Spanish explorers found a waterway through Central America to the Pacific.

The Spanish were one of the earliest Europeans to get to the Americas and they were able to:

• acquire a lot of gold
• establish colonies
• discover areas like the Mississippi river and San Salvador

While the Spanish spotted the Pacific Ocean when they searched for gold, they never found a waterway to it through Central America. Instead they had to go around Argentina to get to it.

In conclusion, the Spanish did not find a way to the Pacific ocean across Central America.
