Jabarkan Hasil hingga sekarang dari Imperium Spanyol

Bahasa Spanyol dan Gereja Katolik Roma dibawa ke Amerika dan Hindia Timur Spanyol (Negara Federasi Mikronesia, Guam, Kepulauan Mariana, Palau dan Filipina) oleh kolonisasi Spanyol yang bermula pada abad ke-15. Bersama dengan Imperium Portugis, Imperium Spanyol meletakkan dasar bagi pembangunan perdagangan global dengan membuka jalur perdagangan lintas samudera besar. Hukum internasional modern berakar dari ekspansi koloni Spanyol dan juga pengalaman buruk akan imperialisme. Memunculkan Budaya Hispanik di hampir seluruh bekas koloninya, bahkan Bahasa Spanyol masuk dalam bahasa Resmi Perserikatan Bangsa-bangsa.
