Abstract
Aim. To reconstruct the chronology of discovery, development, and attempts to Christianize the terri tory of Spanish Florida in the 16th century based on historical facts available for 2022, collected from various sources in different parts of the world.
Methodology. The author analyzes the corpus of historical sources and identifies causal relationships between the events of the discovery and development of Florida and the events in Europe and the West Indies, which were not previously reflected or were only partially reflected due to the discrep ancy of information sources. The methodological basis was the principles of historicism, objectivity and consistency.
Results. For the first time, the history of the discovery, development and Christianization of Florida was constructed in chronological order and divided into several important stages due to the under standing of the interrelated processes that took place in the New and Old World.
Research implications. For the first time in Russian historical science, the chronology of events and causal relationships of the discovery, development, and Christianization of Florida in the 16th century is presented in such detail. The publication of this work makes it possible to conduct a special course on the discovery and development of Florida from the 1500s to the 1590s. The created chronology is particularly effective for classification and studying the material at universities and schools.
