Spanish and Portuguese explorers primarily sought treasure in the Americas, particularly in regions such as the Caribbean, Mexico, and South America. They were driven by the pursuit of gold and silver, famously in places like the Aztec and Inca empires. Additionally, the explorers ventured to Africa and Asia, looking for valuable spices and other resources. The quest for treasure significantly shaped the course of history, leading to colonization and the establishment of trade routes.
