How were the missionaries different from the conquistadors and yet still Eurocentric?
Missionaries differed from conquistadors in their primary focus; while conquistadors aimed to conquer and exploit territories for wealth and power, missionaries sought to convert Indigenous populations to Christianity. However, both groups shared a Eurocentric worldview, believing in the superiority of European culture and religion, which justified their actions and often led to the imposition of European values on Indigenous peoples. This shared perspective ultimately resulted in significant cultural disruption and the marginalization of local traditions and beliefs.

What is the difference between an explorer and a conquistador?
A conquistador was Spanish and looked only for riches and power. A conquistador had 3 Gs: gold, God, and glory. Gold for riches, God for converting people to Catholicism - since the majority of Spaniards, including royalty were Catholics (and still are) at the time - and glory for power. An exploerer could be from any country and had motivations which were diverse and might include scientific curiosity, personal fame, or they were on a mission from their host country to explore new land and claim it. Conquistadors are gone now, but we still have explorers.
