(this bout the spaniards exploring the americas…I get how they used the compass but I need evedence bout the sword part..help)

Answer #1

I think it means (and this is a long shot being given that sentence with little surrounding context) that with their abilities to navigate seas (the commpass) and conquer (with the sword) they expanded further and further.

Answer #2

the sword was used to conquer and the compass means to explore. explore&conquer
