Drake landed in San Francisco Bay but I wouldn't call it claiming the area. He did leave a plank of wood stating he was there with an English coin attached. It wasn't until modern times that the plank was found on the beach by someone. The Spanish did claim the land, build missions, and start settlements along the coast. The Spanish influence is still seen today.
In an attempt to convert the Native Americans to their state religion, Roman Catholicism.
They built missions to protect the friars from unfriendly Indians.
Missions
The Spanish built presidios, or fortified military posts, primarily to protect their territorial claims and missions in the Americas from threats, including Indigenous resistance and rival European powers. These structures served as defensive outposts, enabling the Spanish to maintain control over newly acquired lands and facilitate the spread of Christianity. Additionally, presidios provided a base for the Spanish military to support colonization efforts and secure trade routes.

because they wanted toooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Spanish built presidios, or military forts, to protect their missions from potential attacks by indigenous groups and rival colonial powers. These settlements typically included barracks for soldiers, storage facilities, and sometimes civilian homes, creating a fortified presence in the region. Additionally, pueblos, or towns, were established nearby to support the missions and provide a base for agricultural and economic activities. Together, these structures formed a network of defense around the missions, ensuring their survival and the spread of Spanish influence.
