Answer 1

A
C

Step-by-step explanation:

A: There were tons of reasons why colonization occurred is of word that spread about the riches of the new world, stories of the city of gold, or el dorado. This is also further documented in official Spanish sources, as the northern territories of New Spain were being mined and sapped full of their silver and gold resources to be shipped back and forth to enrich Spain, this is further proven by the fact that England hired privateers to raid and capture the wealth the Spanish sent to themselves in Spain.

Also if you ask who that privateer is, its John Francis Drake

C: Just look up the Spanish missionaries, and their missions to convert the locals in to Christianity, this is best documented in the Philippines during Spanish Colonial times, where Spanish missionaries held sway and spread the religion across the island making the Philippines one of the most Christian nations today.
