Spain and Portugal were the two European countries that dominated new world claims during the Age of Exploration. Spain established vast territories in the Americas, including large parts of South and Central America, while Portugal focused on Brazil and claims in the Caribbean. Their influence was solidified through treaties such as the Treaty of Tordesillas, which divided the newly discovered lands between the two nations. This rivalry laid the groundwork for European colonization and exploitation in the New World.

Various European explorers and nations established claims in the New World during the Age of Exploration. Christopher Columbus, sailing for Spain, is often credited with claiming parts of the Caribbean for Spain in 1492. Following him, explorers like Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro claimed large territories in the Americas for Spain, while other nations, such as France and England, also established their own claims through explorers like Jacques Cartier and John Cabot. These claims often led to colonization and significant geopolitical changes in the region.
