When and Why Did He Explore?
Coronado was sent from Spain in 1540 after Cabeza de Vaca told stories of the seven cities of gold. His main reason for leaving Spain to go to the new land was because he wanted to find the seven cities of gold and bring it back to his wealthy wife. Out of the three g's (gold, glory, and god) he was looking for gold and glory.

Where and What Did He Find
Coronado docked in Mexico and made his journey up to Texas. He explored the panhandle of Texas in search of the seven cities of gold. Unfortunately, he didn't find any gold so he went back to Spain.

What Happened After?
After the trip to the new world, Coronado returned to Spain. Everything went back to normal but his journey to the new world to find the seven cities of gold was called a fail. Coronado then decided that he wasn't going to exploration ever again.
