Best Answer

The Spanish had enormous success in the New World for several hundred years. They conquered all of Central America, most of South America, the area that is now the southwest United States, Florida, Texas and California. They became fantastically wealthy during the 16, 17th, and early 18th centuries.

They lost their control of sea routes beginning with destruction of the Spanish Armada in the attempted invasion of England, and later in the Queen Anne's War. That led to a loss of control of the conquered territories, and the eventual collapse of their empire.
