Question

What do most historians call the period of time before Spanish conquistadors arrived in North, Central, and South America?

	Pre-Columbian Era
	The Ante-Spanish Rule
	Montezuma’s Reign
	Pre-Conquistador Era

Answer 1

The most commonly used term (and most likely the correct answer) for this historical era is the pre-Columbian period, but do be aware, this refers specifically to the era before first contact in 1492. Spanish conquistadors did not make inroads into the Americas until 20-30 years after Columbus.
