    The primary factors that drove Spanish expansion into the Americas were a desire to spread Catholicism and a desire for wealth. The Spanish saw the indigenous populations as potential converts to Catholicism and sought to convert them. Additionally, they were motivated by the potential wealth and resources that could be found in the Americas, such as gold and silver. The dislike of Islamic rulers and intense hatred for the indigenous populations may have played a role in some instances, but they were not the primary driving factors.

    The theory of mercantilism stated that:

    • Governments should follow a "hands-off" approach to economics

    • There was limited wealth in the world

    • There was unlimited wealth in the world and all countries must seek it

    • Governments should take a leading role in acquiring wealth for their countries

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. There was limited wealth in the world
    A. Governments should take a leading role in acquiring wealth for their countries
    Explanation
    The theory of mercantilism believed that there was limited wealth in the world. This means that countries could not simply rely on the existence of unlimited wealth and must actively seek it out. Additionally, the theory advocated for governments to play a leading role in acquiring wealth for their countries. This suggests that governments should not adopt a "hands-off" approach to economics, but rather take an active stance in promoting economic growth and acquiring wealth for the nation.

    Spanish colonialism...

    • Contributed to the harsh labor conditions, a lack of industrial development, and a high degree of wealth inequality in Spain's colonies in the Americas

    • Caused wealth and natural resources to flow from the Americas into Europe

    • Enabled Spain to devote extensive resources to the development of its infrastructure and industries

    • Led to the expansion of manufacturing industries in northern Europe

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Contributed to the harsh labor conditions, a lack of industrial development, and a high degree of wealth inequality in Spain's colonies in the Americas
    A. Caused wealth and natural resources to flow from the Americas into Europe
    A. Led to the expansion of manufacturing industries in northern Europe
    Explanation
    Spanish colonialism caused wealth and natural resources to flow from the Americas into Europe. This was due to the Spanish conquering and exploiting the resources of the colonies, such as gold, silver, and agricultural products. The wealth obtained from the colonies helped to fuel the expansion of manufacturing industries in northern Europe. However, this colonialism also contributed to harsh labor conditions, a lack of industrial development, and a high degree of wealth inequality in Spain's colonies in the Americas. The Spanish focused on extracting resources rather than developing local industries, leading to economic disparities and exploitation in the colonies.
