wen Spain came over to Latin America they brought most of what they had with they also brought priests. since they were Catholic, that is what they preached about to the Latin Americans.
The primary colonial power in Latin America was the country Spain. However, the Portuguese had power over the country of Brazil.
In the early 19th century, Spain and Portugal controlled the majority of Latin America through colonial rule. Spain established vast territories across much of South and Central America, while Portugal maintained control over Brazil. The independence movements in the early 1800s led to the gradual emergence of sovereign nations, diminishing European control and paving the way for the establishment of independent Latin American states.
Napoleon's conquest of Europe significantly weakened Spanish and Portuguese control over their Latin American colonies, as the power struggles in Europe distracted these imperial powers. The invasion of Spain in 1808 led to a crisis of legitimacy, prompting many colonies to question their loyalty to the Spanish crown. This environment of uncertainty and instability fueled independence movements across Latin America, ultimately resulting in a wave of revolutions throughout the region in the early 19th century. As a result, many colonies gained independence, reshaping the political landscape of Latin America.
The invasion of Spain by Napoleon Bonaparte's army in 1808 encouraged widespread rebellion in Latin America. This event created a power vacuum in Spain and weakened its control over its colonies, providing an opportunity for Latin American leaders to challenge Spanish authority and fight for independence. The idea of self-rule and independence gained traction among the Latin American criollo elite, leading to various uprisings and movements for liberation throughout the region.

I think you're confusing Latin America with South America. Most people speak Spanish or Portuguese in South America because Spain and Portugal invaded and colonized the region.However, most people of "Latin" America speak either Spanish or Portuguese because that's pretty much the definition of Latin America: any American country where a Romance language is spoken, such as Spanish or Portuguese.
