The Viceroyalty of the New Spain qualifies as such. At its peak, all the territories it possessed included Mexico, most of Central America (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica) as well as today's US States of California, Nevada, Utah, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and parts of Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas and Wyoming. It also administered the territories of the Philippines in Southeast Asia.
Spanish territory in North America and the Philippines was governed by the viceroy of Spain, the highest appointed Spanish minister, who lived in the Palace of the Viceroy in Mexico City. Spanish territory in South America was under the rule of the viceroyalty of Peru, until the 18th century Bourbon Reforms, which divided the Peruvian viceroyalty into the Viceroyalty of New Granada (modern-day Colombia and Venezuela) and Viceroyalty of Río de la Plata (modern-day Paraguay).
From 1521 until 1821, Mexico was known as the Viceroyalty of the New Spain. It included present-day Mexico, the U.S. Southwest and most of Central America except Belize and Panama. Also at the time, the Philippines were administered from the New Spain.
No. During colonial times, present-day Panama was part of the Viceroyalty of New Granada, which also included Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Trinidad & Tobago and Guyana, as well as some parts of present-day Peru and Brazil.The rest of Central America -- with the exception of Belize, known at the time as British Honduras -- was part of the Viceroyalty of the New Spain, which eventually became present-day Mexico, several U.S. States such as California and Texas, as well as Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
The Spanish Empire was divided into several vice royalties, which were administrative divisions governed by viceroys. The most notable vice royalties included the Viceroyalty of New Spain (covering Mexico and parts of the U.S.), the Viceroyalty of Peru (covering much of South America), the Viceroyalty of New Granada (present-day Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela), and the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata (encompassing Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia). These vice royalties facilitated the administration of vast territories, resource extraction, and colonial governance during the height of Spanish imperial power.
his civilization lasted 3,500 years, from about 2000 B.C.E. to 1500 C.E. At its peak, it included present-day southern Mexico and large portions of Central America.
The Mayan originally occupied central modern day Mexico.
The area of New Granada included present-day Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela. It was a Spanish viceroyalty established in 1717.
The current territory of Mexico was discovered by Spaniards. They waged war against the indian tribes and empires who inhabited the territory, such as the Aztecs, Mayans, or Purepechas. By the time all native tribes had been subjected, the Viceroyalty of the New Spain was established. It comprised all the territory of modern day Mexico, Central America, the Philippines and most of the western part of the United States.
The two present-day countries that have territory that was part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain in the 1800s are Mexico and the United States. The Viceroyalty encompassed a vast area, including much of what is now Mexico, as well as parts of the southwestern United States, such as California, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. This territory was governed by Spain until Mexico gained independence in 1821, and significant portions were ceded to the U.S. following the Mexican-American War in the mid-19th century.

Spanish settlements in the Americas, known as viceroyalties, were ruled by officials appointed by the king of Spain. Notable examples include the Viceroyalty of New Spain, which encompassed present-day Mexico and parts of the United States, and the Viceroyalty of Peru, covering much of South America. These viceroys acted as the king's representatives, overseeing colonial administration, justice, and economic affairs. Other regions, such as the Viceroyalty of New Granada and the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, also followed this governance structure.
