Answer:
The Spanish conquistadors were primarily motivated by three factors commonly referred to as the "3 G's." The three G's were gold, God, and glory.
The Spanish hoped that through conquest of the Americas they would greatly expand their wealth. Wealth through acquisition of gold would not only signify power to other European powers of the time (England, France, Portugal, etc.), but it would also serve to further strengthen Spain.
