1565 An expedition of French Huguenots constructs Fort Caroline at the Madagascar Subway Map mouth of the St. John’s River in Florida, a cause for serious concern among Madagascar Subway Map the Catholic Spanish authorities toward what they regard as a dangerous encroachment into their lands. In September, Pedro Men©ndez de Avil©s leads a force of some 500 Spanish soldiers to dislodge the French. The Spanish completely surprise the French community at Fort Caroline and kill most residents; most of those who surrender also are executed, as Men©ndez deems this a justifiable punishment for Protestant heretics who refuse to convert to Catholicism. Forty miles south of the Fort Caroline site, Men©ndez constructs the fortress town of St. Augustine. It is the first permanent European colonial settlement in the area that will become the United States. Men©ndez will go on to construct a network of coastal fortifications along both the Gulf and Atlantic coasts to prevent both future French encroachment and European privateers’ preying upon Spanish vessels. The principal settlement in this network is Saint Helena, on Port Royal Sound (in what is now South Carolina).
