2) inspiration for other Europeans to begin explorations and settlement

is it right

The effects of Pizarro's and Cortes's defeat of Native Americans are:

- Settlement and colonization of Florida under Spanish rule
- Inspiration for other Europeans to begin explorations and settlement
- Settlement and colonization in the Southwest under Spanish rule

To answer this question, we need to understand the historical context of Pizarro's and Cortes's defeat of Native Americans. Pizarro was a Spanish conquistador who conquered the Inca Empire in South America, while Cortes was a Spanish conquistador who conquered the Aztec Empire in Mexico.

1. Settlement and colonization of Florida under Spanish rule: This statement is true. After the Spanish conquistadors' success in the Americas, Spain sought to expand its territorial control. As a result, Florida was settled and colonized by the Spanish.

2. Inspiration for other Europeans to begin explorations and settlement: This statement is also true. The conquests of Pizarro and Cortes were major events that captured the attention of Europeans. These successes encouraged other European powers, such as the French and English, to begin explorations and establish colonies in the Americas.

3. Settlement and colonization in the Southwest under Spanish rule: This statement is not directly related to the conquests of Pizarro and Cortes. The Southwest region of the United States, including present-day California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, was primarily settled and colonized by the Spanish during the 16th and 17th centuries. However, the conquests of Pizarro and Cortes did not directly lead to the settlement and colonization of the Southwest.

4. Fighting between the Spanish and the French: This statement is not directly related to the defeat of Native Americans by Pizarro and Cortes. While there were conflicts between the Spanish and the French in the Americas, these conflicts were not a direct consequence of the conquests of Pizarro and Cortes.

Therefore, the correct answers to the question are:

- Settlement and colonization of Florida under Spanish rule
- Inspiration for other Europeans to begin explorations and settlement
