And all speak Spanish, all are majority Catholic, all follow the American presidential system...|||Spain was the first to colonize the New World. Their colonies included all of Central America minus Belize (%26amp; some other place which escapes me), most of South America, minus Brazil and the 3 Guianas, and many Caribbean Islands.
Spain was a big supporter of the Pope and of Catholicism.
During the Napoleonic Wars, Spain came under the control of France. Without a centralized government, colonial revolts achieved independence for eventually all of the nations in Central and South America, and later the Caribbean. These nations formed republics for the most part, and as the USA emerged as a global power, came under American influence.|||Look at it from the other end of history. At one time Spain 'ruled' much of South America, then in the early 1800s there were breakaway movements, just as the USA broke away from Britain. Various nations emerged, and in fact the current borders were not entirely settled until the 1940s. Brazil (geographically by far the biggest nation in South America) is a very large exception - it was colonised by Portugal, thus speaks Portuguese. The name Latin America refers to the fact of speaking Latin-based languages. Roman Catholicism was the religion in Spain and Portugal.|||there is One Nation and their national Language is English

Spain's administration of its colonies in the Americas was divided into the Viceroyalty of New Spain 1535 (capital, M茅xico City), and the Viceroyalty of Peru 1542 (capital, Lima). In the 18th century the additional Viceroyalty of New Granada 1717 (capital, Bogot谩), and Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata 1776 (capital, Buenos Aires) were established from portions of the Viceroyalty of Peru. Chile was ruled separately; the Andes Mountains and the Atacama Desert were rather formidable barriers.
New Spain included Mexico (including TX and territory lost to the U.S. in 1848), Florida, and most of Central America. In 1540, Spain established the Captaincy General of Guatemala, which extended from southern Mexico to Costa Rica, and thus encompassed most of what is currently known as Central America, with the exception of British Honduras (present-day Belize). After the dissolution of Spanish authority, the former Captaincy General remained intact as part of the short-lived First Mexican Empire. Central America then emerged as a distinct political entity upon the independence of the Federal Republic of Central America a representative democracy with its capital at Guatemala City. This union consisted of the present day nations of Guatemala (which included the former state of Los Altos), El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica (which included a region which is now part of Panama, and the Guanacaste Province which was once part of Nicaragua), and Soconusco, a portion of the modern Mexican state of Chiapas. The Republic lasted from 1823 to 1838, when it began to disintegrate due to civil wars.
Created in 1542, the Viceroyalty of Peru (in Spanish, Virreinato del Per煤) was a Spanish colonial administrative district that originally contained most of Spanish-ruled South America, governed from the capital of Lima. However, the Spanish did not resist the Portuguese expansion of Brazil across the meridian. The Treaty of Tordesillas was rendered meaningless between 1580 and 1640 while Spain controlled Portugal. The creation of Viceroyalties of New Granada and Rio de la Plata (at the expense of Peru's territory) reduced the importance of Lima and shifted the lucrative Andean trade to Buenos Aires, while the fall of the mining and textile production accelerated the progressive decay of the Viceroyalty of Peru. Eventually, the viceroyalty would dissolve, as with much of the Spanish empire, when challenged by national independence movements at the beginning of the nineteenth century. These movements led to the formation of the modern-day republics of Peru, Chile, Colombia, Panam谩, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina in the territories that at one point or another had constituted the Viceroyalty of Peru.
Most of Panama was originally part of the Viceroyalty of Peru, then the Viceroyalty of New Granada, and then Colombia. American President Teddy Roosevelt forced Colombia to grant Panama independence in 1903 so he could dig a canal there.|||Each colony in Central and South America was under a different civil administration with separate governors appointed by the Crown, not unlike the 13 American colonies in North America. However, as each of the colonies gained their independence they maintained their separate Identity and became a separate country instead of consolidating under a confederation like the American colonies at the end of the Revolutionary War.|||Spain was not always one kingdom and even Portugal was apart of the Spanish kingdom once
its all because of politics and nothing to do with the language being spoken though it can help
