Best Answer

Most of this area was conquered by successive waves of Spanish conquistadors; Hernan Cortes and Francisco Pizarro are the most renowned among them. Present-day Brazil was settled by Portugal, while several islands in the Caribbean were taken by other European powers, such as France, the Netherlands and Britain.
