All of them conformed the society of present-day Latin America during colonial times.

  • Peninsulares were people born in Spain, and held the highest positions in government and industry.
  • Creoles (Spanish: criollos) were people of Spanish ancestry born in the Americas.
  • Mestizos were the people born out of mixed marriages between Spanish settlers and Native Americans. During colonial times they were a minority, but after the Independence Wars, they became the most prominent ethnic group.
