19. Historians use a standard shorthand, Gold, God, and Glory,
to describe the motives generating the overseas exploration,
expansion, and conquests that allowed various European countries to
rise to world power between 1400 and 1750. Gold refers to the
search for material gain through acquiring and selling Asian
spices, African slaves, American metals, and other resources. As
merchants gained influence in late- medieval western Europe, they
convinced their governments to establish a direct connection to the
lucrative Asian trade, leading to the first European voyages of
discovery in the 1400s. God refers to the militant crusading and
missionary traditions of Christianity, characterized in part by
rivalry with Islam and hatred of non-Christian religions. Glory
alludes to the competition between monarchies. Some kings sought to
establish their claims to newly contacted territories so as to
strengthen their position in European politics and increase their
power at the expense of the landowning nobility. They also embraced
the ideology of mercantilism, which held that governments and large
private companies should cooperate to increase the states wealth by
increasing the reserves of precious metals. Motivated by these
three aims, several western European peoples gained control or
influence over widening segments of the globe during the Early
Modern Era.

not convert to Christianity. Upon meeting indigenous people Spanish
explorers were told to read the document to them to explain their
