Why was control of the gulf of mexico important to spain?

Explanation:  The control of the Gulf of Mexico was important for Spain because it was a vast area of deposits of different minerals, (especially silver), and a fruitful agricultural region. For this reason, Spain intended to establish colonizations on the northern coast of the gulf in order to provide protection to merchant and expeditionary vessels and also quickly rescue the shipwrecked.
