Answer 1

A. Spain controlled more of North and South America than the other countries.

Explanation:

• Outside Europe, Spain had the Greater Antilles, half of South America, most of middle and considerable parts of North America (including present-day Mexico, Florida, the southwest, and the Pacific coast of the United States), as well as numerous archipelagos in the Pacific, including the Philippines.
• The first Spanish conquest in America was Hispaniola Island (today divided between Haiti and the Dominican Republic).
• Hence Juan Ponce de Leon conquered Puerto Rico and Diego Velázquez occupied Cuba.
• The first settlement on the mainland was Darién in Panama, settled in 1512 by Vasco Núñez de Balboa.
