The first included : Mexico, and was known as (New Spain), and the second : included the rest of the regions, and it was called (Lima Prosecution), and it placed at the head of each state a ruler called (the King's Viceroy), and each state was divided into several kingdoms and military provinces.

Spain established many cities and colonies in the New World (Latin America), and between 1635 and 1676 they tried to establish permanent colonies in Latin America.

In 1718 they created what is known as (New Granada).
