Spain was the first country to claim territory in the New World following Christopher Columbus's voyage in 1492. Columbus's expeditions led to the Spanish colonization of various regions in the Americas, including parts of the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. The Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494 further solidified Spain's claims to these territories.
