Answer:
The Spaniards initially fought for control of trade in Africa, having seen the success of the Portuguese, but lost, propelling them westwards to try and find an alternative route to Asia, in an effort to beat the Portuguese for domination of the spice trading. This, however, lead to the discovery of the Americas.
