The Spanish sent missionaries to the Pacific Coast and the Southwest primarily to spread Christianity among Indigenous populations. This was part of their broader colonial strategy that aimed to exert control over these regions while converting Native Americans to Catholicism. Missionaries established missions as centers for religious education, agricultural development, and cultural assimilation, often working alongside colonial authorities to solidify Spain's presence in these territories. Additionally, the missions served as a means to facilitate Spanish settlement and economic exploitation of the land.
