1 Jan 1492 Jahr - Conquest and Occupation of
Latin America by Spain,

Beschreibung:
Starting with Hispaniola, Spain conquered most of what
we call Latin America. The largest exception is modern
Brazil, which was conquered by Portugal. The treaty of
Tordesillas was an agreement between Catholic
Portugal and Spain to divide newly discovered lands
outside of Europe between the two nations. The
French, English and Dutch also conquered smaller areas
of land in Latin America, mostly in the Caribbean.
