The Islamic Moors overran Spain and occupied and ruled most of it for the next 3 centuries. They got their chance to do this when the Spanish king was foolish enough to force himself on one of the Queen's ladies, who happened to be the daughter of the Governor of the Spanish fort in North Africa that guarded the only easy crossing from Africa to Spain. When the father did not get any 'satisfaction' from the King for the assault on his daughter, he simply let the Moors through at their next attempt. Only in the 15th century would the last vestiges of Moorish rule be removed.
The Spanish conquests brought European civilization and science to the relatively less-advanced tribes of North and South America.

Although the British colonies started later than both the French and Spanish, it quickly outpaced both in North America. The English colonists were better fed, clothed, and housed than their counterparts. One reason for this was that the French and Spanish colonies were characterized by strong central control exercised by the monarchy. It helped them to get off the mark quickly, but in the end hindered innovation and their ability to deal with changing circumstances. Both the French and Spanish empires were vast. The English colonies were tightly grouped along the Atlantic coastline. This provided them with communication and transportation benefits.
