Answer:

They were free to do so after capturing Granada, is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The Spanish kingdoms of Castille and Aragon were united when King <em>Ferdinand and Queen Isabella</em> got married. After the unification, they were searching for national heritage. They wanted to have a fast route for trading in Asian spices which could make Spain rich and powerful and if any other materials were obtained from the voyage it would have been an added benefit.

As compared to other European nations Spain was poor and didn't have many natural resources, colonization was a way in which they could build wealth. Earlier the King and Queen were occupied in fights against the Moors in southern Spain and after the defeat of the moors, they were able to pay attention to other issues.

<em>So when Columbus approached the Spanish king and queen they agreed to finance his voyage and provided him with money and ships. </em>

Why did Stalin declare war on Japan? 
ss7ja [257]
Stalin knew the end of the fight against Germany would free up his vast armed forces to invade Japanese-held territory in Asia, such as resource-rich Manchuria. The USSR declared war after the Hiroshima bombing but before the Nagasaki bombing. It's intention was clearly to grab territory before Japan surrendered

Why did early colonies have to look to the east rather than to the west?
ivanzaharov [21]

Early colonists had to look to the east for a number of reasons. The first was economic. Most colonies, Jamestown for example, depended on the mother country, or more accurately on the companies that founded them, for supplies and financial backing. They also had to become financially lucrative for their backers in England to justify their existence. While some were more explicitly motivated by the desire for profit than others, all of the colonies in their early stages were to some extent business ventures. 

Another reason was political. The colonies owed their legitimacy (even the Massachusetts Bay Colony, whose founders wisely took their charter with them) to the Crown. All of the colonies replicated, in some form or another, English common law, including the courts, local officials, and representative bodies. Before long, most colonies were governed by royal appointees, sent as the Crown's representative. Even the independent-minded Puritans were English subjects, and they thought of themselves like this.
