Coronado's Expedition and Its Outcomes

The video tutorial explains the expedition of Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, who sought the mythical Seven Cities of Cibola in the 16th century. Despite his noble birth, Coronado sought fortune in New Spain, becoming governor and leading an expedition funded by wealthy colonists. His journey took him to the Zuni Pueblo and the Grand Canyon, but the cities of gold remained elusive. Misled by a native called The Turk, Coronado's quest for Quivira ended in disappointment. The expedition was deemed a failure, and Coronado lost his title. The video also details the route taken by Coronado, using animation tools for illustration.
