Answer:

The establishment of crops, the exploitation of sugar and the exploitation of gold.

Explanation:

Colombus was the first Spanish explorer to reach the Caribbean islands and quickly wrote to the Spanish crown about how profitable that land would be for Spain. Colombus wrote that the land was good for agriculture, which could improve food in Spain and promote trade between other countries. In addition, Colombus stated that the exploitation of sugar would be very beneficial in the place, in addition to the exploration of gold and other precious metals. These factors made the Caribbean an extremely important region for Spain, which aroused the greed of other nations in relation to this territory.

How do patents and copyrights encourage innovation?
matrenka [14]

Patents and copyrights encourage innovation because they allow people to be rewarded for their creations. For example, if an individual creates a new type of cell phone they can receive a patent or copyright on that phone. This means the ability to make and sell this phone belongs solely to the individual or the company they represent.

Now if this cell phone becomes wildly popular and people start to buy it, it allows the creator to make a significant amount of money of their creation. Along with this, the person can sue any person who tries to take their design and sell the phone themselves.

Ultimately, patents and copyrights protect people who come up with amazing innovations and allows them to accumulate massive amounts of wealth.
