Explanation:
The Spanish colonization of America was the process by which an administration was introduced in the New World that was intended to be imitation or duplication of the contemporary peninsular administration. This period was extended from 1550, until August 13, 1898 nineteenth century, when the Spanish flag was lowered in San Juan de Puerto Rico.
The colonization of America was carried out substantially by the Crown of Castile (linked to the Indian kingdoms dynamically) and is the continuation of a first expansion and colonizing experience of the Kingdom of Castile in the Canary Islands, which tested for the first time at a certain scale the experience of conquering, repopulating and administering a new territory, inhabited by unknown peoples, assimilating them and Christianizing them in the process. Thus, the last three large islands of the Canary Islands were completely subdued in the years 1478-1483 (Gran Canaria), 1492-1493 (La Palma) and 1494-1496 (Tenerife) although the colonizing impulse started much earlier, in the other islands of the Canary Islands. archipelago. This experience and the existence of formulas developed to solve the problems of founding new cities, pacts and confrontations with the natives of the country, designation and attributions of the military advance, gear of the administrative apparatuses: religious, civil and military, were then widely used in America, have their distant background in the experience of the Reconquest and repopulation of the Iberian Peninsula and partly explain the extraordinary success of colonization.
