- Abstract. Although the fact of the discovery of Florida in 1513 by Ponce de Leon is increasingly mentioned in scientific and fiction literature, however, there are still no compiled facts and in-depth studies devoted to the analysis of the failure of the development of Florida after its discovery. This question is a little-studied problem, but the lack of Spanish settlements in southern Florida is extremely important for the consequences in World History. The theoretical and practical array of already available data on the events from 1513 to 1525 provides an understanding of the events that took place and makes it possible to build a hypothesis about the inevitability of the failure of the development of the south of the Florida Peninsula. In this study, we give several reference points, based on a retrospective view of world events that took place during a difficult period in Spain itself, in the New and Old World, and on the Atlantic Ocean. The relevance of the research topic is quite high and timely, as this study provides clues and insights to all the events that happened due to the lack of development by Spain in the south of the Florida Peninsula. And these consequences were the discovery of navigation routes around the Florida Peninsula by the Spanish merchant fleet and the heavy losses of Spanish merchant ships rounding the south of the peninsula, the fierce and successful resistance of the natives of Florida, and the inability to establish relations with any tribes of southern Florida, the development of piracy and illegal trade in the New World by France and the arrival of the "Silver Age of Piracy" in the Atlantic, the confrontation among the Spanish colonists in the West Indies, etc.
