The Spaniards founded colonies in the new world for three major reasons: God, Glory, and Gold, meaning that: (1) they wanted to convert the native peoples to Christianity and therefore "save their souls", (2) they wanted the prestige of conquering more territory, and (3) they wanted to extract the wealth of gold and silver from the Andean mountains. nn\
