Spaniards and Portuguese came to the Orient primarily through maritime exploration and colonization during the Age of Discovery in the 15th and 16th centuries. They established trading posts, colonies, and trade routes in locations such as India, Southeast Asia, and China. These explorations were driven by a desire for wealth and resources, as well as spreading Christianity.

The Spaniards and Portuguese came to the East in search of new trade routes to Asia. They sought to bypass the Ottoman Empire, which controlled the lucrative overland trade with Asia. The Portuguese, led by Vasco da Gama, successfully sailed around the Cape of Good Hope and established trade networks in the Indian Ocean. The Spanish later followed suit, with Ferdinand Magellan leading the first circumnavigation of the globe.
The Portuguese began exploring after the Treaty of Tordesillas, which delimited the world in 2 halves, one for the Spaniards, the other for the Portuguese. It all came to scientific and commercial enterpreneurship, in the end.
Portuguese evolved first from Galician-Portuguese in the 12th century in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Spanish, as a distinct language, emerged later in the 13th century in the central region of the Iberian Peninsula.
The Portuguese arrived in India in 1498, led by explorer Vasco da Gama who landed in the city of Calicut. This event marked the beginning of European colonialism in India.

The Spanish and Portuguese sought to establish trade routes to the Orient for valuable spices, silks, and other goods. They believed these could be reached by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. This led to the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus in 1492 and the establishment of trade networks by both countries in the region.
