Question 2 of 10

Answer 1

A. Spain controlled more of North and South America than the other

countries.

Explanation:

During this time, most of Latin America was colonized by Spain. France and Portugal also had some colonization in the regions, but it was mostly Spain. Spain had many goals by conquering the Americas, they wanted to fix their economy, by the easy trade routes that were in the Americas, and sell the silver and gold that were then abundant. They used many slaves to achieve this, both Natives and African Americans. Spain also wanted to spread Christianity throughout the Americas, as they were very religious people. This is also known as "gold, god, and glory."
