The conquistadores were Spanish explorers and soldiers who played a key role in the Spanish colonization of the Americas during the 15th and 16th centuries. Their primary goals were to claim new territories for Spain, seek wealth—particularly gold and silver—and spread Christianity among indigenous populations. Notable figures include Hernán Cortés, who conquered the Aztec Empire, and Francisco Pizarro, who took down the Incan Empire. Their expeditions significantly expanded Spanish influence and led to profound changes in the Americas.
