By the sixteenth century, Spain had established the largest American empire among European nations. Following Christopher Columbus's voyages, Spain expanded its territories in the Americas, claiming vast regions in the Caribbean, Central America, and parts of South America. The Spanish Empire became known for its wealth, driven by the extraction of resources like gold and silver, and it significantly influenced the culture, politics, and economy of the New World.
