Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Map 10-2 shows that Spain had control over most of the coastal areas in both Central and South America by 1600, with only a few Portuguese and French colonies in between. The map does not show Portugal having the largest claims nor Spain claiming all of Central and South America. The map also only shows Spanish claims in the Americas, not in modern-day India or the Philippines.
