Is new Spain now Mexico?

The real question is this, "Was Mexico New Spain"? But YES. Yes indeed. It began with the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in central Mexico (the Valley of Mexico in central Mexico) in 1521. Meanwhile, Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan arrived into the Philippines in Asia and claimed the Philippines for Spain. In 1543, Ruy Lopez de Villalobos had named the Philippines "Las Islas Filipinas" (The Philippine Islands in Spanish) in honor of Philip II of Spain. Philip II was the KING of Spain and Portugal, but was originally born in Spain. And so, the Philippines was named after Philip II of Spain. Spanish colonization began in the Philippines when Spanish explorer, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi arrived in the Philippines from Mexico (New Spain) in 1565. From 1565 to 1821, the Philippines was a territory of New Spain, which IS NOW Mexico because when the Spanish conquered the Aztec Empire in Mexico, the Spanish had claimed the Aztec Empire as "NEW SPAIN". So Mexico became New Spain. Also, New Spain, including the Philippines in Asia, was governed by the Spanish from Mexico City (formerly Tenochtitlan). Mexico City was the capital of New Spain. Mexico City is also the capital, largest city, and federal district of Mexico.

The Spanish empire lasted a little over 400 years or nearly 500 years, depending on how you look at it.

The Spanish Empire was started in 1492, and continued to the 20th century, when Spain withdrew from its last colonial holdings in Africa, in 1976. In the 20th century, however, its holdings were quite small compared to what they had been. It might be fair to say the Spanish Empire effectively ended with the loss of Cuba and the Philippines in 1898.

Spain was able to conquer the Americas so rapidly because the natives (Incas and Aztecs) had not been exposed to the diseases present in the livestock that the Europeans had.

Horses were not native to the Americas, so the natives were at a disadvantage not only in defense from disease, but defense of the physical body.

How did the colonization of the Americas affect Spain?

The discovery of the New World greatly impacted Europe, and Spain in particular. The New World, which consisted of North and South America had effects in Spanish government, economy, and society. It necessitated Spain's governmental adaptation in order to govern such a vast area. Spain set up viceroyalties, which were territories under the rule of a viceroyal, who governed under the direction of the Spanish Crown. The New World also brought great wealth to Spain, through slaves, which they both sold and used as labor, agriculture, which flourished in S. America's climate, and mining, which was the main industry. It also helped promote Spanish capitalism by funding the actions of newly-rich entrepeneurs. Finally, the cruel treatment of the natives led to social divisions in Spain.
