The Spanish settled California in the late 18th century, primarily to expand their territorial claims and spread Christianity among Native American populations. Key settlements were established through a series of missions, presidios, and pueblos, with the first mission, Mission San Diego de Alcalá, founded in 1769. This expansion was part of Spain's broader effort to establish a presence along the Pacific coast and counteract Russian exploration and influence. These efforts laid the foundation for California's eventual integration into the United States.
