The Spaniards did not settle in Belize primarily due to its challenging geography, including dense jungles and shallow waters, which made navigation and agriculture difficult. Additionally, the region was inhabited by the Maya, who resisted Spanish colonization. The focus of Spanish colonization was more on areas with greater resources, such as silver mines in Mexico and Peru, leading them to overlook Belize. Instead, the British eventually established settlements in the area during the 17th century, drawn by the lucrative logging industry.
