Answer 2

The three reasons for European countries like Spain to pursue exploration was god, glory and gold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Apart from getting wealth, Spanish spread Christianity in the New World because of the Dudum siquidem, a Papal Bull issued by Pope Alexander VI in 1493. Inter caetera permitted Spain to built churches which came to be known as missions. The purpose of missionaries was to spread the Christian faith and teach the teachings of Jesus Christ to the Native Indians. During the period of colonization, Catholic missionaries performed an active role in the spreading of Christianity in the New World. They showed no tolerant attitude toward traditional religious practices by Indians. By spreading Christianity, it helped Spaniard to colonize the natives and gain new land for their empire.
