Aimed for the conversion to Christianity of native peoples, sometimes through force.
Step-by-step explanation:
Converting the Indians to "the true faith" was one of the goals of the Spanish Catholic conquest, though it never was more important that finding and exploiting gold and other wealth. The massive conversion in Spanish colonies was mainly forceful. The British and the French were less proselytizing , though some of their colonists and settlers attempted to convert tribes in some periods. However, it never was a long, sustained and systematic effort as the one mounted by the Catholic Church in the Spanish colonial possessions.
