Final answer:

The Spanish enslaved Indigenous peoples primarily to work in mines and grow sugar for profitability.


Explanation:

The primary purpose for the Spanish enslaving many Indigenous peoples was to work in mines and grow sugar. Sugar cane, once introduced to the West Indies, required large amounts of slave labor on plantations for profitability. The encomienda system was established to force Native Americans into brutal conditions on both mines and plantations.
