Conquistadors
For God, Glory and Gold, was their rallying cry, but the conquest of much of the New World by Spanish conquistadors, driven by a mentality reminiscent of the medieval crusaders, was surely one of history's turning points, but even in the 16th century, questions were asked about the morality of their exploits.

Why did the Spanish treat the Native Americans as they did?
The Spanish were explorers during a period when there was competition in Europe for supremacy in every way: political, military, and economic. They gave little thought to other cultures except as they benefitted their home country. They viewed the American tribes as savages to be brought under their rule and their own religious beliefs. They treated the actual natives of India and other Asians just as badly (or worse) during the age of colonization. The Spanish harbored long resentment against Arabs for the 800 years of Moorish occupation of Spain (700-1492 AD).
The dreams of empire ended for the Spanish in 1898, although they have some small possessions in Africa. But in the 16th century, they were busily seeking treasure around the world.
