The Spanish claimed the most land in the Americas during the Age of Exploration, primarily due to their conquests in the early 16th century. Notable figures like Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro conquered vast territories, including the Aztec and Inca Empires. The Treaty of Tordesillas, brokered by the Pope in 1494, also granted Spain significant rights to land in the New World, solidifying its dominance in the region. As a result, Spain established one of the largest colonial empires in the Americas.
