I want to know the answer to the following question:
Which European nationality first explored the Tennessee region?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The first recorded European excursions into what is now called Tennessee were three expeditions led by Spanish explorers, namely Hernando de Soto in 1540, Tristan de Luna in 1559, and Juan Pardo in 1567.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
