New Spain was considered a colony because it was established as a territory under the control of the Spanish Empire following the conquest of the Aztec Empire in the early 16th century. As a colony, it was governed by Spanish officials and operated primarily for the economic benefit of Spain, extracting resources such as gold, silver, and agricultural products. The indigenous population faced significant upheaval and exploitation, further solidifying its status as a colony. Additionally, New Spain served as a strategic base for Spanish exploration and expansion in the Americas.
