Best Answer

The Spanish conquistadors aided themselves and their home country of Spain by dominating and conquering Native American civilizations in Mexico and in South America. They certainly learned more about these civilizations, which helped the European world regarding information about these Ancient civilizations.

The primary objective, however, was to steal their gold & silver and send it back to Spain. They also used these civilizations to help them find mines containing precious metals and precious minerals and gems.
