Spain established territorial claims in the Caribbean and South America through a combination of exploration, conquest, and colonization. They sent expeditions led by explorers like Christopher Columbus and Hernan Cortes, who claimed lands on behalf of the Spanish crown. They established settlements and missions, and defeated indigenous peoples and rival European powers to solidify their territorial control. The Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494 also divided the newly discovered lands between Spain and Portugal, giving Spain a legal basis for its territorial claims in the region.
