Detailed explanation-1: -The La Salle expedition had far-reaching results. First, it shifted Spanish explorers’ interests from western Texas to eastern Texas. There was a renewal of Spanish exploration of the northern Gulf shore. It also inspired the French to claim Texas, causing the Spanish to move in Texas as a reaction to a French threat.
Detailed explanation-2: -How did Ft. St. Louis affect the future history of exploration and settlement in Texas? Answer: When Spanish explorers discovered the French effort to establish a foothold in Texas, they realized that unless they built more settlements in Texas themselves, the French might take over the area from them.
Detailed explanation-3: -La Salle’s activities had far-reaching consequences for the future of Texas. Spain increased its own exploration of the Texas coast and advanced the timetable for its own occupation in order to stave off French claims.
Detailed explanation-4: -Despite setbacks, the La Salle expeditions provided the French government with information about the geography and native population of the Mississippi Valley and Gulf Coast that would prove essential to the future settlement of lower Louisiana in 1699.
