1 answer

The European nation that most famously sought gold during the age of exploration was Spain. Spain's desire for gold was one of the primary motivations behind their exploration of the New World. They believed there were vast reserves of gold in the Americas and sought to acquire it to fund their empire-building efforts. Their quest for gold led to the conquest and exploitation of indigenous civilizations, such as the Aztecs and the Incas, and the establishment of colonies in what is now Central and South America.
