Spanish explorers believed that introducing Christianity and converting American Indians to Catholicism would most help them. They saw conversion as a way to "civilize" the indigenous population and bring them under Spanish control. Additionally, they believed that teaching the indigenous people European agricultural techniques and introducing livestock would improve their standard of living.
