Spain had been trading and colonizing in Atlantic waters since the 1300s and had competed with Portugal for control over the Atlantic islands and the west coast of Africa.
Spain’s movement into the Atlantic largely followed a mercantile approach embodying commercial practices also employed by Portugal and Genoa in dealing with non-Western peoples. This was to be expected, as the ports of southern Spain had long been integrated into the Mediterranean mercantile world. But Spanish expansion also enacted a new approach – that of full settlement of Reconquest – which emerged during Christian Spain’s seven centuries of episodic warfare against Islamic Moorish kingdoms on the peninsula.
This struggle reached a successful conclusion just as the Spanish undertook systematic colonization across the Atlantic.
