The social classes in the Spanish Americas were divided into three main groups: the peninsulares (those born in Spain), the creoles (those of European descent born in the Americas), and the indigenous and mestizo populations. The peninsulares held the most power and authority, while creoles sought greater political and economic influence in the colonies. Indigenous and mestizo populations were often marginalized and faced social and economic discrimination.
Criolios were people of full Spanish descent born in the Americas or Philippines. Peinsulars were Spanish-born Spaniards residing in the New World or the Spanish East Indies. These terms were used in the colonial caste system of Spanish America and the Spanish Philippines.

Peninsulares were granted more political power and opportunities for high-ranking positions in the colonial government.
