Answer: A

Explanation:

Answer 2

Europeans want to spread Christianity in the Americas -  They believed that God wanted them to convert other peoples.

• The idea that all human cultures are valuable and have integrity is relatively new.
• Anthropologists have taught us to attempt to comprehend every society on its terms since the early 20th century.
• Before then, Europeans held the view that all peoples could be classified somewhere along a single spectrum, ranging from primitive superstition to contemporary civilization and logical thought.
• These concepts had a significant impact on Christian missionaries, who commonly believed that a key component of their role was to advance people along the spectrum so that they would become civilised, "just like us."
• From the time of the apostle Paul till the present, the Christian Church has sent forth missionaries.
• Many of them belonged to Catholic religious organisations in the 16th and 17th centuries, which were made up of men (and later women) who lived by severe rules and dedicated their lives to evangelization.

Hence, Europeans want to spread Christianity in the Americas as they believed that God wanted them to convert the people into Christians.
