Spaniards conquered the Philippines primarily for economic and strategic reasons. The islands offered valuable resources and the potential for trade, particularly in spices, which were highly sought after in Europe. Additionally, the Spanish aimed to spread Christianity and expand their empire in Asia, leading to the establishment of colonial rule that lasted over three centuries. The conquest was also motivated by competition with other colonial powers and the desire to enhance Spain's global influence.
