The Spanish Empire, at its height during the 16th and 17th centuries, encompassed vast territories across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa. Key regions included Spain itself, large parts of present-day Mexico, Central and South America, the Philippines, and various islands in the Caribbean. Additionally, Spain held territories in Europe, such as parts of Italy, the Netherlands, and Portugal at different times. The empire was characterized by its extensive colonial reach and influence over global trade and culture.

Why was Brazil a Portuguese colony and not spanish?

Yes, Brazil was part of the Portuguese Empire and not the Spanish Empire. The Treaty of Tordesillas divided the Spanish Empire into the west of the line, and the Portuguese Empire to the east of the line. Unforunately, Portugal didn't get as much as Spain did. Brazil's official and national language is Portuguese. Due to the fact the Spain had much more territory than Portugal, Brazil is the only Portuguese speaking country in South America. Aboult 50% of South Americans speak Spanish. About 40% Portuguese since Brazil is a really big country surrounded by small Spanish speaking countries. The other 10% are French, English and dialects. Guyana and French Guiana are not Spanish speaking, they are French speaking countries.
