During the time Spain was exploring America? (Like, during Columbus´ time) Spain was very rich... they had a lot of gold, a strong fleet, and were one of the most powerful contries in the world.

good fact - the conquistadors upon arriving on american soil would read the demand for alleigance to spain (in spanish) and proceed to brutalize and enslave whoever did not immediately convert to catholicism. there's a name for it. i don't have the book on hand.
