Because Spanish was the language spoken by the conquistadors. Spain conquered and colonized these countries and regions, which are now commonly known as Latin America.

Many of the native peoples of Central and South America today are the descendants of interracial marriages between the white, European Spaniards and the people they conquered (native tribes like the Incas, the Mayans, and the Aztecs). On the other hand, the United States and much of Canada were colonized by England, and as such, they are English-speaking countries that are known as Anglo America.
