What is one effect of the Spanish conquest that still affects our world today?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The colonization by the Spanish empire in different regions of the world much preceded that of the British. In the 14th century, Spain and Portugal were two of the richest countries in Europe and sought to increase their wealth and resources by traveling to newer places and channeling the resources from there back to their own country. The Treaty of Tordesillas had effectively divided the world into two, providing the Spanish with control of the regions which were called the New World.
