From 1686-1691 they sent _____ expeditions to Texas looking for the French to confront them

From 1686-1691, they sent five expeditions to Texas looking for the French to confront them.

From 1686-1691, the Spanish sent four expeditions to Texas looking for the French to confront them.

To determine the number of expeditions sent to Texas between 1686 and 1691, we need to calculate the difference between the two years and add 1 to include both endpoints. Here's how you can do it:

1. Subtract the starting year from the ending year: 1691 - 1686 = 5.
2. Add 1 to include both the starting and ending years: 5 + 1 = 6.

Therefore, they sent six expeditions to Texas between 1686 and 1691 to confront the French.
