Spain sent explorers to Central and South America primarily in search of gold, silver, and other riches, driven by the desire for wealth and the expansion of Spanish influence. They were also motivated by the ambition to spread Christianity and claim new territories for the Spanish crown. This quest led to the discovery and conquest of vast regions, significantly impacting the indigenous populations and the course of history in the Americas.
