Answer:

Christopher Columbus carried out the first Spanish exploratory expedition to the west across the Atlantic Ocean, opening the New World for Europeans and creating the first overseas colonies of Spain there. From that moment on, the Western Hemisphere became the main target of Spanish exploration and colonization.
