The Spanish Empire conquered vast territories in the Americas, including present-day countries such as Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, and Chile. In addition to these, Spain also established colonies in parts of the Caribbean, such as Cuba and Puerto Rico. They expanded their influence into the Philippines in Asia and controlled territories in parts of Europe, such as the southern Netherlands and parts of Italy. The conquests were driven by the search for gold, land, and the spread of Christianity.
