Spain colonized all of Central and South America, with the exception of Brazil, which became a colony of Portugal. They also controlled many of the islands in the Caribbean Sea.

The current US states of Florida, California, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, and Arizona were first explored by the Spanish, who also controlled Louisiana for a time between French domination.
