Detailed explanation-2: -Overview. Historians generally recognize three motives for European exploration and colonization in the New World: God, gold, and glory.
Detailed explanation-3: -The economies of early Spanish colonial Latin American countries thrived under three different kinds of labor systems: the Encomienda System, Repartimiento de Labor, and the Hacienda System.
