Answer:
More countries began to invest in expeditions to the Americas
Explanation:
The Spanish were the first Europeans that managed to conquer large territories in the New World. This led to the downfall of multiple civilizations, such as the Inca civilization. The Incas were a civilization that highly appreciated the gold, for religious purposes not for wealth, and they had it in abundance. The Spanish managed to get their hands on most of it, and big portion of it ended up back in Europe. The word quickly spread out, so the other nations wanted to get a piece of the gold from the New World, and that sparked lot of new expeditions from several different countries.
