Spain was able to control vast territories in the New World due to a combination of superior military technology, such as firearms and steel weapons, and the establishment of alliances with certain Indigenous groups. The Spanish also leveraged their experience from the Reconquista and employed effective strategies for colonization and governance. Additionally, the spread of diseases brought by Europeans decimated Indigenous populations, making it easier for Spain to assert dominance. Finally, the wealth generated from resources like gold and silver funded further expeditions and consolidation of power.
