colonial latin america
Colonial Latin America refers to the period from the 16th century to the early 19th century when European powers, primarily Spain and Portugal, established colonies in the regions that now comprise Latin America. These colonies were characterized by political, economic, and social dominance of European powers over the indigenous populations, resulting in cultural assimilation, exploitation, and the introduction of European institutions, languages, and religions.
