    Spain and Portugal built their empires in the 16th century through trading, spreading religion, and colonization. They established global trade networks connecting Europe, Asia, and the Americas and traded goods like spices, silk and silver. Both nations spread Catholicism aggressively and used wealth from trade to fight Islam. Spain and Portugal were also the first to extensively colonize new lands, with the Portuguese establishing colonies in Africa and Asia and the Spanish conquering Mesoamerica and South America. Their growing power inspired other European nations to start exploring and colonizing.
