Who dominated the New World in 1500?

Answer 1

The New World was a term coined by Amerigo Vespucci, a Florentine explorer. During the late 15th century, Spain was the dominant European country colonizing areas in North America, South America, and the Caribbean.

Answer 2

The so called New World was hardly "new," of course; advanced civilizations existed in the Americas long before Columbus, some even from before the time of ancient Greece & Rome. Granted, the results of Columbus' "discovery" were by far the most consequential (alas, also tragic) as one of the major events impacting human history, and so we reason/calculate everything re this question from that point. Regardless, evidence keeps mounting that European/Mediterranean peoples made explorations of the Americas in ancient times. If you are interested in this, the following works will make a good start:
