Explanation:

To fill in the "Conquest Graphic Organizer" for the remaining explorers, we analyze each:

Bartholomew Diaz

• Country of Origin: Portugal (born in Portugal, part of Portuguese exploration efforts).
• Country of Employment: The Kingdom of Portugal (funded by Portuguese monarchy).
• Places Traveled/Conquered: Sailed around the southern tip of Africa (Cape of Good Hope) in 1488, exploring the west coast of Africa (from Portugal down to the Cape), opening a sea route toward India (though he didn’t reach India).

Christopher Columbus

• Country of Origin: Italy (born in Genoa, Italy).
• Country of Employment: Spain (funded by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain).
• Places Traveled/Conquered: Sailed west across the Atlantic in 1492, landing in the Caribbean (Bahamas, Hispaniola, Cuba), mistakenly believing he reached Asia. Explored islands in the Caribbean and parts of Central/South America (e.g., Jamaica, Puerto Rico).

Hernan Cortes

• Country of Origin: Spain (born in Medellín, Spain).
• Country of Employment: Spain (served the Spanish crown).
• Places Traveled/Conquered: Led an expedition to Mexico (1519–1521), conquered the Aztec Empire (Tenochtitlán, modern-day Mexico City), and established Spanish control over large parts of Mexico.

Final Table (Completed for All):

Vasco de Gama	Portugal	The Kingdom of Portugal	Sailed from Lisbon around the Cape of Good Hope to India (1498), opening a direct sea route to Asia.

This organizes each explorer’s origin, employer, and conquests to match the graphic organizer’s structure.
