Answer:

Role of the church

Step-by-step explanation:

After conquering a certain territory, Spanish Empire made a huge effort to convert the locals into their religious faith. The English empire on the other hand only focused on establishing chain of business command.

For proof, here are some sample of their conquests and the Religion that the people held to this day.

Former Spanish colonies:

- Argentina

- Mexico

- Uruguay

- Puerto Rico

Roman Catholic is still the major religion in all of those former Spanish Colonies. Exactly what the Spanish empire converted them into during the colonization.

Former British Colonies:

- India

- Malaysia

- United States

- Egypt

The Major Religion in India is Hindhu, The Major religion in Malaysia and Egypt is Islam, and the Major religion in United States is protestant. The church have very few role in these areas of conquest.
