Spanish America

Spanish America refers to the regions in the Americas that were colonized by Spain during the Age of Exploration, primarily from the late 15th to the early 19th centuries. This includes countries in Central America, the Caribbean, and much of South America, such as Mexico, Peru, and Colombia, among others. The term encompasses the rich cultural, historical, and linguistic heritage shared among these nations, where Spanish is the dominant language. Spanish America is characterized by diverse indigenous cultures, colonial histories, and the blending of European, African, and native influences that shape its modern identity.
