The Umayyads were the first (for nearly 300 years), followed by the Taifas, the Almoravids, the Almohads, and the Second Taifas. The Second Taifas survived the Fall of Baghdad and the end of the Abbassids.
The Abbasid Caliphate did not directly expand into Spain; instead, it was the Umayyad Caliphate that established control over the Iberian Peninsula in the early 8th century. After the Umayyad dynasty was overthrown in the East, a surviving member, Abd al-Rahman I, fled to Spain and established an independent Umayyad emirate in Córdoba. The Abbasids, while they did not rule Spain, had a significant cultural and intellectual influence on the region through their connections with the Umayyad rulers.

The Seljuk Turks replaced the Abbasids by gradually gaining power in the 11th century as they expanded into the Middle East. Initially serving as mercenaries for the Abbasid caliphate, they eventually seized control of key territories, including Baghdad, in 1055. Their military prowess and administrative skills allowed them to establish a vast empire, while the Abbasids retained a symbolic religious authority. This shift marked the transition from a fragmented caliphate to a more centralized Turkish rule.
Both Spain and Portugal gained control of the land in South America as a result of the Treaty of Tordesillas. The lands to the west went to Spain while the ones to the east went to Portugal.
The Abbasids fell to an ambush of the mongols; while Umayyads fell to economics.
The Seljuk Turks gradually replaced the Abbasids by capitalizing on the weakening political and military power of the Abbasid Caliphate during the 10th and 11th centuries. As the Abbasids struggled with internal strife and external threats, the Seljuks, originally a nomadic tribe, began to establish control over Persia and the eastern territories of the Caliphate. They effectively became the military and administrative leaders, culminating in the capture of Baghdad in 1055, where they positioned themselves as protectors of the Caliphate while diminishing its authority. This shift marked the transition of power from the Abbasids to the Seljuks, who would dominate the region for several centuries.
The French and Indian War ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1763. Under the terms of the treaty, France relinquished its North American territories to Great Britain, while Spain gained control of Florida.

Because Venezuelans declared its independence from Spain in 1811 already. The Spanish "Right to Control Venezuela" was predicated on Spain being able to protect its Empire from foreign powers. The Venezuelans claimed a right to self rule since Spain had been conquered by France. If Spain could not protect itself, what right did it have to control Venezuela?
Actually Spain didn't have control of America. They had settled in California and the southwest in the 1500's and had some of Florida, but they lost by the late 1700's. Mexico took over the California and southwest areas while they lost Florida to American settlement.
Spain still occupied a few strongholds after Mexico's independence was consummated in 1821, such as the San Juan de Ulua fortress, on the port city of Veracruz -- which didn't surrender to Mexican forces until 1825. Spain even tried to reconquer Mexico several times, between 1821 and 1829. All political and economic ties between Mexico and Spain became slowly severed due to Spain's reluctance to grant Mexico's independence, and by 1836 -- the year Spain finally recognized Mexico's independence -- Mexico was already alienated to Spain, while being involved with other conflicts, such as the Texas Revolution (1835-1836).
