Why was Spain able to control so much the new world?

Spain was the first European country to explore the Americas. Spanish conquistadors were sent to the New World with much better military technology than that which was available to the local inhabitants. Colonists were drawn to the Americas by the promise of vast riches and the prospect of winning new souls for God. The Spanish Monarchy was able to control the Spanish settlers through a system of viceroyalties and audencias (royal courts of appeals).
