The Spanish set up colonies in the Americas primarily to exploit resources, spread Christianity, and expand their empire. Motivated by the search for gold and silver, they established settlements that facilitated trade and extraction. Additionally, the Spanish aimed to convert Indigenous peoples to Catholicism, seeing their mission as both economic and religious. This colonization significantly impacted the demographics, culture, and economies of the regions they occupied.
There were actually SEVEN countries which set up colonies in the Americas: Spain, Portugal, France, England, Holland, Sweden and Russia
