Respuesta :

Spain along with the other Europeans wanted to spread Christianity, get gold fame and land. So I would say B

Answer:

Option: B. to spread Christianity

Explanation:

Aside from gaining wealth, Spanish spread Christianity in its overseas empire because of the Dudum siquidem, a Papal Bull (Inter caetera) issued by Pope Alexander VI in 1493. The Bull allowed lands to discovered which were not Inhabited by Christians and to convert the Natives. The Pope ordered the Catholic religion to spread overseas because of his belief in religious supremacy. Another reason to spread catholic faith was to save the souls of the natives.
