The Spanish Empire controlled much of South and Central America from the late 15th century onwards, following the voyages of Christopher Columbus. They established vast colonies, exploiting resources and converting indigenous populations to Christianity. The Spanish influence significantly shaped the culture, language, and political landscape of the region, with Spanish being the predominant language today in many countries. Other European powers, such as Portugal, also had influence, particularly in Brazil.
