Spanish settlements in the Americas, known as viceroyalties, were ruled by officials appointed by the king of Spain. Notable examples include the Viceroyalty of New Spain, which encompassed present-day Mexico and parts of the United States, and the Viceroyalty of Peru, covering much of South America. These viceroys acted as the king's representatives, overseeing colonial administration, justice, and economic affairs. Other regions, such as the Viceroyalty of New Granada and the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, also followed this governance structure.
