    Mercantilism was the doctrine that guided the rush of the great colonial economic powers of Europe at that time to expand their territory in search of the spice trade route and gold. To establish itself as colonial master, Spain's colonial designs were anchored on the propagation of Christianity and the conversion of the colonized peoples to Catholicism prior to the systematic administration of that colony's political, economic and cultural systems. All the other European powers, the British Empire, the Dutch colonizers were intent on cornering the spice trade and then the slave trade in search of gold, drawing clear demarcation lines between ruler and ruled.
