The Age of the Conquerors began right after of the Spanish reconquest of the Iberian peninsula from Islamic forces. After the Moors were defeated, Spain and Portugal were filled with young men begging for a chance to find military fame. After explorers discovered new lands to the West (which they thought was far East Asia), many more young men became explorers with the goal of earning wealth and glory.
