Answer: Brought more wealth to Spain

Step-by-step explanation:

Like most imperialist powers, Spain, with the discovery of America, benefited primarily from wealth acquisition. The Spaniards, more than any European immigrants in North America, used the natives as enslaved labour. The Spaniards exploited everything that could be used. In that way, Spain gained huge financial benefits.
