This is a complex question, but in a Europe with many small and big states fighting for power and essentially fighting to become the emperor (roman title), any means were used to gain an edge.

So when European kings found out that there was a new world, with a small and militarily weak population it was free for grabbing and those kings who did not seek power usually ended up killed or worse by their enemies
