So successful that we haven't had World War II yet.
Most of the Spanish immigrants were male, so many of them married indigenous women.

The French and Spanish were generally Roman Catholic so where they settled was generally Catholic. The English and the Dutch were Protestant and for the most part so were their colonies.
Spain was the first European country to explore the Americas. Spanish conquistadors were sent to the New World with much better military technology than that which was available to the local inhabitants. Colonists were drawn to the Americas by the promise of vast riches and the prospect of winning new souls for God. The Spanish Monarchy was able to control the Spanish settlers through a system of viceroyalties and audencias (royal courts of appeals).
During colonial times, it was the Spanish who traveled that far into the new world. Back then, Spain was a Catholic country so they named many towns after saints
It is a place so it would be spelled New Guinea. For example; in spanish for America they say America or Americas.
