The Spanish came to North America think it was India. When the got here, they found the Indians. They named them Indians because they thought they were in India. The came here looking for the three g’s: God, gold, and glory

I'm no expert but considering the only other country capable of reaching it at the time was Portugal, who was focused on Africa, by the time Portugal arrived in Brazil Spain already dominated the carribean basin, England and France wouldnt arrive for a long time so it was pretty much just Spain, Spain and Portugal had also agreed how to split the findings in the new world
