Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The European conquest of the Americas was driven by a combination of motives, including economic gain, religious zeal, and political power. Technological advancements such as navigational instruments and new ship designs also played a role in allowing European explorers to cross the Atlantic and establish colonies in the Americas. While diseases did have a devastating impact on the indigenous populations, they were not the primary driver of European conquest. Supernatural forces, while significant in shaping the worldview of European explorers, did not directly drive their conquest of the Americas.
