Spanish explorers in America, such as Christopher Columbus and Hernan Cortes, conquered territories, established colonies, imposed their culture and religion on the indigenous populations, and exploited Natural Resources for the benefit of the Spanish Crown. They also introduced new technologies and crops to the New World.
Spanish explorers were searching for new trade routes to Asia, sources of wealth such as gold and silver, and opportunities for spreading Christianity. They were also interested in expanding the Spanish empire and gaining power and prestige.
Spanish explorers are believed to have arrived at Mobile Bay in 1519.
Spanish explorers like Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro, along with Portuguese explorers like Vasco da Gama and Ferdinand Magellan, came to the Americas in search of treasure such as gold and silver.
Christopher Columbus is credited with "discovering" the New World in 1492, although Leif Erikson may have reached North America around 1000 AD. Other Spanish explorers who played a significant role in exploring and colonizing the Americas include Hernán Cortés, Francisco Pizarro, and Juan Ponce de León.
Spanish explorers were often mistaken for gods by tribes they encountered due to their advanced technology, weapons, and armor, which seemed otherworldly to the indigenous people. Additionally, the explorers often arrived during times of prophecy or legend, reinforcing the idea that they were supernatural beings. The Native Americans had no prior exposure to European explorers and their cultural beliefs contributed to the perception of the Spanish as divine beings.
