Philip II Spanish King Piedaville went to Florida to kill the French Huguenot settled there; the Spaniards wanted a new world for themselves. De Avavres departed from Spain in July 1565 with a total of eleven ships and approximately 2,000 soldiers. They landed in St. Augustine Bay, Florida on August 28, 1565 and founded a settlement in St. Augustine, the oldest resident city in the United States currently located in the northeast Florida. On 20th September 1565, Avilés and its soldiers attacked the nearby French Caroline colony, killed all (men, women, children) and hanging the remains slaughtered from the trees.

David also explored the North American coastline in North Carolina St. Helena, North Carolina State and built a fortress on the coast for protection.

Avilés returned to Spain in 1567 and later fought against England at the battle of Santander in Spain.

Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles was born in Aviles, Spain on 15th February 1519. When Don Pedro was 14 years old, he left home and became a crewman. As Don Pedro was appointed commander of the Spanish fleet, he is responsible for overseeing trade between Spain and the United States. Although he was working, Dom Pedro was very sincere and angered a lot of people. Menendez died on September 17, 1574. He died in Florida due to a struggle with French. He considers himself a sincere person, but he does not see the fact that he killed so many people, as Menendez believes that the French are bad guys. So, in addition to the creation of Saint Augustine, Menendez can tell us the importance of being kind to people, even if they are different from us.

It is difficult for Spain to know that France is setting up a colony in Florida. As a result, Pedro Menendez de Aviles was sent to drive out French settlers. Menendez was born in 1519 and escaped from his hometown to become a crewman when he was 14 years old. He eventually became the officer of the Spanish Navy. In 1549 King Spain ordered him to fight pirates on the coastline. He did such a wonderful job and Philip II who became king in 1556 made it possible for him to begin colonizing in Florida to drive away the French. Soon, Menendez and more than 2,000 crew members, soldiers and their families took 11 boats in Florida.

Philip II planned to remove French Huguenot colony from Florida. Ironic is a duplicate of the example of France, the king of Spain discovered his choice of leader at Quinta Prison in Seville. Pedro Menendez de Aviles was imprisoned on the exchange because he did not obey the order. However, Philippe II knew that the former general of former West Indies would become Florida 's perfect adulta. Pedro Menendez de Aviles is a stubborn Roman Catholic who needs to manage skilled qualities, Spanish supporters, and all the qualities of Florida.
