Abstract

Aim. To analyze the events that took place in Spain and in the West Indies before the discovery of Florida. The collected new and existing materials were used to investigate the internal and external reasons that led to the need for Ponce de Leon's expedition in 1513. Methodology. The author analyzed the corpus of texts and found multiple causal relationships that had previously been either ignored or described partially without connection with other events in different parts of the world due to the fragmentation of informative sources in the past. Results. The study presents a new perspective on the events of the expedition of Ponce de Leon, who discovered Florida in 1513. Research implications. The author managed to upgrade the issue of the opening of Florida as one of the key moments in the history of the Conquest and to review the events of 1513 in a new light of the interplay of various factors occurring in the societies of Spanish colonists in the West Indies in the early 16th century, as well as in Europe and in the territories of the aborigines of South Florida.
