The Spanish helped themselves. Prior to the expulsion of the Moors in 1492 Spain was a series of independent Christian and Moorish political entities.

How did Spain structure its American empire?

Spain built its American Empire by first subdividing it into Viceroyalties: New Spain, New Granada, Rio de la Plata, and Peru. These Viceroyalties would be led by Peninsulares, who were Spaniards born in Spain and moved to the New World to govern those areas. The Peninsulares would also have top-level bureaucrats who were also Peninsulares. The children of the Peninsulares, called criollos/creoles, were generally allowed economic freedom, even though they lacked political power. The economic engine of the colonies depended on the terrain and resources. In flatter, warmer regions, there were large sugarcane, tobacco, and cotton plantations. In more mountainous areas, there were vast gold and silver mines. The plantations were generally worked by African slaves and the mines were typically worked by Indigenous Peoples.

Is there a Painter named arias from Madrid Spain?

It might have been Francisco Arias Alvarez (Spanish, 1911-1976)

I have several paintings that my parents purchased when we lived in Spain from 1974-1977 with the signature A. Arias. I do know that the person that would visit us to show some of the works of A. Arias that we could choose to have him paint had a brother that worked with him. It could be possible the artists was actually his brother A. Arias. I always thought that the man that made the visits was the actualy artist.

Why did the Spanish and Portuguese enslave Africans more than other people?

The Native Americans died in record numbers (especially in the Caribbean) within decades of the Spanish arrival, primarily from foreign diseases, but also from overwork. The Spaniards and Portuguese needed a labor force to fill the lower rungs of the social ladder in order for the colonial expedition to be profitable. Since the enslavement of Africans was quite accepted in Spain and Portugal due to the former Islamic rulers having African slaves and participating in the African Slave Trade, it was only natural for the Spaniards and Portuguese to expand this trade and begin to use Africans to replace the dying Natives.

The Africans also had much better resistance to both European and tropical diseases since many of these diseases had become prevalent in Africa and, like Europeans, the populations that could not handle these plagues had already been wiped out. The Native Americans had no prior exposure and the immediate genetic winnowing easily removed over fifty percent of the endemic population.

It is important to note that in places like the Andes, where the Native American population did not die off rapidly, African American slaves were not brought in. This is why Peru and Bolivia have a very small percentage of African descendants today.
