The primary European group that conquered most of Latin America was the Spanish, led by conquistadors such as Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro in the early 16th century. They established vast territories through military conquest and colonization, significantly impacting indigenous populations and cultures. The Portuguese also played a crucial role, particularly in Brazil, where they established their own colonial presence. Together, these two nations shaped the linguistic and cultural landscape of modern Latin America.
