When did the European Explorers first arrive in America?
This is a disputed answer. Some say the first European explorers to reach America were the Vikings, with Leif Erickson being the first of them. However, the settlement he founded in about the year 1000 AD in what the vikings called Vinland, and was probably on the coast of modern Newfoundland, Canada, lasted only a short time and the Vikings did not follow-up with further exploration and settlement. Erikson's exploration and settlement had little effect on Europe and none that we know of on America. The European exploration and settlement of America that had a lasting effect on both Europe and America was that which followed the exploratory journey of Christopher Columbus (called ChristoffaCorombo in his native Genoa and Cristóbal Colón in Spain) in the year 1492, some 500 years after Leif Erikson.
What were some of the difficulties the Lewis and Clark expedition faced on their journey?
Lewis and Clark did not have an easy journey. They faced many challenges along the way. One of their most difficult challenges was passing over the western mountains. During this time, the men couldn't find much to eat and in desperation ate horses, dogs , and spoiled food. Sometimes the weather was extremely hot. At other times, the cold temperatures and Snow made it almost impossible to travel. Many men battled frostbite. But the expedition did eventually reach the Pacific Ocean.
