Shortly after Colombus discovered Hispanola (an island close to Florida) other explorers from Spain and Portugal began to discover and colonize land along the Atlantic Ocean from the Carolinas to the sourthern tip of Argentina. With them they brought their Spanish language. The Treaty of Tordesillas divided the "New World" and allowed Portugal to claim the area that is today Brazil and Spain to control the rest of South America. The Indians were forced to learn Spanish and Portugese in order to trade and communicate with the Europeans and even after the wave of revolutions in the 1800s the language stuck. This is why Spanish and Portugese are spoken in many parts of the Americas. Some Indian languages are still found; however, they are concentrated mostly in remote areas in the Yucutan and closer to the Pacific Ocean, farther from the Spanish and Portugese influence.
