Spain was driven by a combination of factors, including its early unification under Ferdinand and Isabella, the Reconquista's conclusion, and a strong motivation for exploration and conquest. The Spanish crown was eager to expand its empire and spread Christianity, leading to significant investment in exploration. Additionally, Spain's experience with navigating and colonizing the Caribbean, along with its access to advanced maritime technology, positioned it advantageously over England, which was slower to focus on overseas expansion during that period.

Christopher Columbus chose 1492 for his voyage primarily due to the political and economic conditions in Spain at the time. The completion of the Reconquista in January 1492, with the fall of Granada, unified Spain under the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, who were eager to support exploration and expand their influence. Additionally, Columbus aimed to find a westward route to Asia, driven by the desire for trade in spices and wealth. The timing also reflected a growing interest in exploration during the late 15th century, as European nations sought new trade routes and territories.
Spain agreed to sponsor Columbus's voyage to the New World primarily due to the desire to expand trade and gain access to new resources. After the Reconquista, Spain was eager to enhance its prestige and wealth through exploration.
