∙ 11y agoUp until the early 19th Century, Spain controlled much of the Caribbean, North and South America. I will use current country boundaries to illustrate. They did not control Brazil, Portugal did, but they controlled all of South and Central America. All of the North American west, what we now know as the land West and North-West of (and including) Texas and also Florida. In the Early 19th Century many countries began to declare independence as the Monroe Doctrine took effect, European's hold on their empire weakened, and America's remarkable revolution shone as an example of success.
