After Spain merged the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon, it acquired territories in the Americas, including Mexico, Central America, and parts of South America. These new territories provided Spain with the opportunity to spread Catholicism to the indigenous populations. The Spanish Empire saw the spread of Catholicism as a duty and used the resources acquired from the colonies to support religious missions and establish churches. The maps would likely show the expansion of the Spanish Empire coinciding with the spread of Catholicism, as the two were closely linked in Spain's colonial endeavors.
