There were several primary reasons for Spain to colonize the Americas. The first reason was to expand their empire and import goods from the Americas. The second reason was to spread the word of God and attempt to convert the natives to Catholicism. Thirdly, the wealth in gold and silver shipped back to Spain helped it to expand its power and influence in the world.
