Hernán Cortés embarked on his journey primarily to explore and conquer new lands for Spain, driven by the prospects of wealth, especially gold, and glory. He aimed to establish Spanish dominance in the New World, particularly in Mexico, which he believed was rich in resources. Cortés was also motivated by the desire to spread Christianity among indigenous populations. His expedition ultimately led to the fall of the Aztec Empire and significant territorial expansion for Spain.
