Spanish colonies
Conquistador-established settlements overseas
Territories under Spanish imperial control, primarily in the Americas, Caribbean, and Philippines from the late 15th through 19th centuries.
The term appears in historical discussions of colonialism, independence movements, and cultural heritage: Many Spanish colonies gained independence in the early 1800s.
The colonial period left lasting influences on language, religion, and legal systems throughout Latin America.
