During the Spanish colonial period in Mexico, the wealthiest and most powerful class of people were known as the "peninsulares." This group comprised individuals born in Spain who held high-ranking positions in the colonial government and the Church. They dominated the social, political, and economic landscape, often wielding significant influence over the local population, including the mestizos and indigenous peoples.
