The primary goals of Spain upon its entry into the New World were to explore as much of the New World as possible and claim these lands for Spain. As the Spanish settled into North and South America, they sought to reduce the Native American Tribes and civilizations they encountered. They also set the goal of stealing the gold of these civilizations and also began to mine for new precious metal areas for silver & other precious metals. The additional goal was to use its new territories as a base to prevent France and Great Britain from gaining more territory. Also, the Spanish sought to convert the Native Americans to Catholicism.
