Spanish settlers in the Americas were commonly referred to as "conquistadors." This term specifically denotes the explorers and soldiers who conquered vast territories in the Americas during the Age of Exploration, starting in the late 15th century. Additionally, the term "peninsulares" is used to describe Spaniards born in Spain who settled in the colonies, distinguishing them from "creoles," who were born in the Americas to Spanish parents.
