Spanish colonial empire

Spain, the colonial empire, mainly plundered Latin America and Indians, including expelling Indians and slaves sold through the slave trade to mine gold and silver minerals, and establishing large plantations to use indigenous people and slaves for production.

These wealth were plundered to Spain for the royal family and nobles to squander, and did not flow into industrial handicrafts for reproduction, which led to the price revolution in European countries such as Spain. Finally, the wealth was transferred to capitalist countries with developed industry and commerce such as Britain and the Netherlands, and became the main source of primitive accumulation of capitalism.
