What incentive did Spanish explorers have for settling the Caribbean islands?

Yes. C.

thanks!

You're welcome.

Ms.Sue can you explain to me how that is right?

At first, the Spanish and other explorers were looking for faster trade routes to the orient -- faster than sailing around the southernmost part of Africa and then on to India or China or wherever they wanted to go.

But the question asks what incentive they had for SETTLING the Caribbean Islands. That's different from motives of discovery!

Mrs.Sharlet what are you gonna do about it? i bet these people arent cheating but trying to get help.

first of all, "Ms.Sharlet", if you worked at connections then you would be using proper grammar. second, she wasn't cheating, she was asking people to check her answer.
