Answer 2

The Spanish colonists built missions in the Americas to help convert people to Catholicism.

• Spanish colonialism in the Americas began in earnest with the conquest of the Aztec Empire by the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes.
• The spreading of Catholicism was a very important part of the Spanish conquests.
• Many missions were sent to the continent to convert the native population.
• The primary evidence for this is the number of towns named after the saints these missions were named for.
• But, the spread of catholicism was often bloody. Approximately one-third of the native population of California was killed due to activities by these missions.
• Therefore, the answer to this question will be option D, missions.
