Spain became the most powerful country in Europe during the Age of Exploration primarily **by gaining territories in the Americas**. The Spanish Empire expanded significantly due to its exploration and colonization efforts in the New World, leading to vast wealth from resources such as gold and silver, which fueled Spain's economy and allowed it to become a dominant global power during the 16th and early 17th centuries. The influx of wealth from the Americas greatly enhanced Spain's military and political influence in Europe and beyond.
