The decision by Portugal and Spain to expand to Africa was motivated by economic means; the Portuguese relied heavily on the Muslims to supply them with materials from Asia and Africa. ... This was another major reason for the Iberian expansionism. ...
It is safe to say that Iberian expansionism was indeed motivated by both economic and evangelistic considerations because based on evidence gathered all indicate that the Portuguese were interested in the spread of Christianity and the development of their trade industry. It is also safe to say that the economic factors played a greater role in their decision to expand because they were already a poor nation and they saw trade as a means to escape their economic destitution.
